You do not have a good seal somewhere in your fuel system. How does it behave with a full tank of fuel?

I agree, the fuel is draining back to the tank so the engine is starved. A properly sealed fuel system would not allow this to happen.

I would check connections at all the fuel lines and filters in the engine compartment for starters. Carolton Hughes on this forum has a recent post about pressurizing his fuel system at the fuel cap with 5 psi. He found his air in the lines in the form of a leak fast.

Just curious, as another test could he just try priming with the pump to see if it replenishes positive pressure in the front leaning up position?? I ask because I'm learning ,too.

His is self priming, it does not have a pump primer.
