Welcome to KF

I am curious to know if you have checked :
the breather pipe (fuel return pipe for the CA model) is clogged. Check the tank cap breather also.
from the supplement manual

With compressed air but not into the air vent holes according to the manual. "That could damage and clogging of the labyrinth in the cap."

Inspect the cap gasket too.
