Citabria Fuel-Flow Problem

OK, talked to my guy. He had several suggestions. One is to drain it all
dry and then blow some air (carefully!) into the right tank and see if
you can hear it coming across into the left tank by listening at the
filler cap.
Possible problems he came up with were a crushed or swollen fuel line
downstream of where you tested previously, or, he thought more likely,
incorrect placement of the little plastic fuel vent deflector and/or the
location of the fuel vent itself. There are specs for the location of
these if you look in the manuals. But for the fact that the fuel doesn't
migrate when parked, I would have said this is definitely your problem
For instance, Cessnas with bent or incorrectly positioned vents are
chronically out of balance.

Oh yeah, that's a lot of help. Where did you find this wanna boi, Wikipedia?
