About a month ago I posted about my Toro Powervac giving me grief and I just continued using it after all the repairs I did.

I pretty much replaced everything on it and got it running pretty good.

I figured out that the problem is the fuel tank not venting properly because whenever it bogs down after about 5-10 minutes of use, I loosen the fuel cap and put it back and it starts running fine again. I replaced the fuel cap (where the vent is located) and it still did not fix the problem.

My question is, should I drill a hole in the fuel tank and add a better vent similar to what is on the Echo equipment? I figure it is worth a shot, I am too cheap to buy a new blower if I can keep this one running.

Thanks! ???
