Steve,

Thanks for the brainstorming. I removed the line from the tank and actually removed the pickup in the tank as well. Blew out the pickup (no prefilter just 5/16" tubing), blew out the line to the in-line filter (filter removed), blew the line to the fuel pump (removed the line at the pump first), and blew all of the removed lines out to the carb. when I blip the throttle the carb sprays gas into the jets like a firehose! No blockage... Funny why the pressure drops though?
