Seems to me if it was a little plugged up, your fuel system is now contaminated.

Clean out all fuel filters, pull the bowls off the carb, clean them out and blow out all your fuel lines from tank to carb.

If ya have foam blocks in the cell that are more than a couple of years old, REPLACE them. That foam breaks down a little each year and can cause all sorts of havoc.

Baffling or safety foam, It slows fuel cell slosh while providing explosion resistance.

Cell Slosh - Designed for all types of racing including drag racing or circle track racing, safety foam will keep your fuel pump from being starved under hard acceleration or cornering.

Explosion Resistance - If your cell were to become damaged, i.e. in a crash, the foam kind of retains the fuel causing it to drip out of your leaking damaged fuel cell instead of gushing out.

Some even go as far to say that the safety foam keeps weight transfer/shift to a minimum, which provides you with more responsive and predictable handling.

I see now. Now how much foam is in the cell?

ashbros

It depends on the type of fuel cell you have.

Here are a couple links for fuel cells.
