This won’t be your problem but I’ll chunk it out there.

Knew a guy back in the early 80s who related how he had run out of gas in his Chevy pickup. He bought gas and a funnel. Afterwards he would periodically have fuel problems. Eventually got to the stage of pulling his saddle tanks. In the one he had used to re-fuel with the gas can he found the trouble source. A label that had been stuck on the inside of the funnel was washed off by the gas and went into the tank and was sometimes being sucked up against the line inlet.

Wow. I hate labels. You buy something today, and you have to spend 10 minutes with GoofOff to remove the glue.

Probably not but the main flex line is original and I have a replacement that I bought months ago. There is a chance some internal breakdown and clogging. Ran into that once too.
