I agree, Bruce, it seems backwards to the symptoms I'm experiencing.

Greg,
I'd think that a higher pressure in the gas tank would lead to fuel
being pressurized. Maybe to the extent that it "overpowers" the float
and
you get an over rich mixture.

If you get a vacuum in the tank, then you get fuel starvation; this
condition seems just the opposite.
