That’s a bummer. Fixing that breather will be a PITA.But fuel line air lock theory is wrong IMO. Provided the height of fuel in the tank is above that looped hose, fuel will flow. The location of the petcock is irrelevant. You WILL probably see air in that loop when the engine is not running as, with it being the high point, air will always end there. But that’s not the definition of an air lock.If in doubt, fill the tank, remove the float bowl plugs and turn on the petcock. I guarantee you’ll see fuel.
