Sticking float? Fuel pump presure issue? There are some other problems I have heard can cause this. Hopefully someone will chime in. I know there are some old threads that deal with this issue. I'll have to do a bit of research for you.

Also; Just blowing air through the passages may not solve your problem. A good carb cleaning may be in order.

Thanks steve I will replace fuel filter pull down again and clean with carb cleaner I thought it would just be dirty as it seemed to happen just before fuel run try in tank on a practice day I will keep trying to solve the problem
