[AJD] Model 40 Question

[Bus Driver]

Be sure the fuel tank is vented. The cap admits air to replace the fuel that
flows from the tank. Clogged vent will create a a vacuum in the tank. Test
by loosening the cap when you restart and run it for while that way to see
if it continues past the 5 minutes.
