It's pissing me off but I'm not ready to give up on it yet. I'm going to leek at again this weekend and make sure every thing is in there the correct way.

may try replacing the filter inside the tank and I also add seafoam to a fuel tank every now and then to clean the ports

BMC Sells that little black plug (I call it a bung) with all the fuel hoses, in tank filter, etc on it for about $8 i think... he told me that Echo will not warranty that item so he sells them at his cost because he feels it should be a warranty item. I don't know how true that is but they are about $10 online...

Looks like this...
