The anti siphon valve ( your hose barb) is the #1 culprit when that symptom occurs.. being made from aluminum, the gasoline/alcohol corrodes the inside of the fitting, thus impeding the moving of the check ball... all that crap in the screen is another by product of the gasoline... as others have stated, protect yourself with a good cartrige type fuel filter...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
