hadn't started my h4 allis gasser in about 6 months. went to crank her up to do some clearing since the ground is saturated now. she just wouldn't start. its always started fine. there is a plug in front of the carb up hi so I thought maybe I would see if I was getting fuel. when I started the remove the plug gas started to come out. it didn't just start leaking it was like it was under pressure. my fuel pump went bad some time back so its just gravity fed. when I did remove the plug and the gas quit spewing out I put the plug back in and it started right up. now when I shut it off I close the valve on the tank and shut it off just as it changes sound. used it 3/4 times since and it start right up. I don't know if when setting the fuel line built up pressure from the summer heat or not. just weird to me. what do you all think.
