Check the fuel tank. Sounds like the clunk is hung-up ( fuel line to it was probably cut too long causing it to bind.)

How are you trying to take it out? From the carb line, or does it have a third line?

Off subject, I know. Hey Minn, what's the deal with RCU forums. Lately somedays it is very quick downloading, to day it seems to take forever !!

Yes, we need to know the type of fuel system - 2 or 3 line - in order to help.

2 line means there is a line from the tank to the carb, and another line from the muffler to the tank.

3 line means the above, plus a third line that goes from the tank and has a plug at the end.

Then I would guess that the third line may be too close to the back of the tank and is sucking itself against the back wall as you try to de-fuel

Did you have to assemble the tank before you put it into the airplane? Where do the three lines go on the inside of the tank?

When in a cowl plane I use two clunks in the tank, one for filling and draining and the other for the carb. My guess is you put the tube into the stopper and ran a line from that to a fuel dot but did not put one inside the tank. Just me going way out on a limb here for ya'.....
