Mine did exactly the same thing when I first got it. IIRC mine had a little
copper mesh screen in the tank that was full of debris. For good measure I
removed the tank and flushed it out. No further problems after that.

My car has been driving me nuttier recently.  It would be bopping along just
fine running pretty good for an old gal.  Then, without warning, try its
damned ness to die.  Bleeping the throttle with AAA thoughts in my head it
would come back to life.  So, this afternoon I started the shotgun approach.
Replaced the fuel pump, replaced the fuel filter and when I took the vice
grips off the line from the tank no fuel went into the filter.  Loosened
clamps to filter and still no gas leaving the tank.  I am assuming there is
a filter in the tank that filters gas before it exits tank.  Yes?  No?

Arch,

There is a screen filter in the bottom of the tank,  You can get to it
through a hole in the bottom of the body.  may not be the problem if your
tank is clean and you have been using clean fuel.  My first guess is the
draw tube in the top of the tank.  I had a similar problem with my ZB when
I first got it.  When I pulled the fitting from the top of the tank the
draw tube stayed in the tank.  I was able to get the tube out with the
screen on the bottom.  My tube was soldiered into the fitting and the
soldier joint had given up.  It was an easy job to reattach the tube to the
fitting.
