I am beginning to understand my fuel problem on my 52 ff PW. I am not able to keep gas in the carb. The carb has been rebuilt and I have a new fuel pump. Most of the gas line is new. I found some chunks of black stuff (rubber?) in the fuel filter a while back when the problem started. I have blowen the the gas line both ways with compressed air and it is clear. I also ran a probe into the gas pick up line in the tank and it was clear. The problem is that I need about 4 gals of gas in the tank to be able to get gas out of it. That is about 4" of gas in the tank as measured by a stick through the sender hole. Best I can figure is that the pick up is no longer at the bottom of the tank. Either it has rotated when I attached the new gas line (which I do not understand how it could happen) or it has rusted off or has a hole in it about 3" above the bottom of the tank. The tank itself looks bright and clean when I look into it.

Is there a way to replace the pick up tube??? Any other ideas???
