[Tigers] Air cleaner choking?

[CoolVT at aol.com]

If you have done nothing to the car since the last time you started it then 
 I think you should look for issues that can arise from storage.  Most  
mechanical things probably haven't changed.  
Bad gas or plugged carb passages from bad gas?

I  started the Tiger yesterday for the first time in admittedly a bit too  
long
- couple months.  It started right up.  But then unless I  was pumping on 
the
pedal, it would die.  So gas was getting there and  the accelerator pump was
working.  I tried a number of times.   Each time, it snap to a start, but 
same
problem.  I then took the top  off the air cleaner and started it again.  
This
time, perfect. Purred  like a kitten.  So I put the cover back on.  When I
tightened it  down, pow, stopped running again.  I found that if I lightly 
put
on  the nut, it would run fine.  If I tightened it firmly down (and this  is
only with my fingers), it would die.

This makes no sense to  me!

It is a K&N filter that I cleaned within the year.  So it  has very few 
miles
or dirt on  it.

Thoughts?
