Default The Dreaded Full Tank Lean Bog

Okay, about a month ago I bougth a Tmax and it ran great through the breakin , but when it came to tuning, I couldn't get the idle screw to work, so I thought then my low speed was too lean, anyways nothing worked. I more or less ended up at factory defaults each time to get it to work. When ever I made adjustments either idle sufferred or engine would quit after high speed run. My father in law kept telling me it always happened on left turn, but it just seemed like coincidence. Then I read the following article in [link]http://www.*********.org/engine-tuning.htm[/link]. It talks about fuel line routing and other stuff. Anyways I replaced and added extra tubing and a new glow plug. It runs great now and tuning is easy. What do you guys think about this article? I kinda feel maybe I just had a fuel line leak, or perhaps the glow plug was responsible. I don't know. I guess I could put the old plug back in.

where can you find that reservoir you mention. I also heard to put a fuel filter on both lines? what do you think.
