Hello Stephen, I posted the above reply. Today I got to open up the fuel tap and discovered what may have been my problem: the little rubber disc inside with the little holes has gotten compressed over the 14 years to the point that a couple of these had slightly closed over. A knowledgeable friend with me at the time pointed out this and said that these pieces, along with the small spring that maintains the pressure between the tap and the rubber are available as spares for his older Hondas. That idea, along with the countless on/off turns over the years of the tap rubbing against the rubber disc would again have the effect of slightly reducing the size of the little holes and, consequently, the flow of vital petrol. I wonder if our hosts sell these?
