► Congratulations on your new purchase, and Welcome Aboard !
► Scot told you the "How to fix it" with his excellent article. But you also want to understand "What causes this to happen" if you want a long, happy life with your new-to-you Airhead. May I suggest you read the latter posts in this thread for a full explanation.... https://www.airheads.org/forum/airheads-chat/588-new-guy
► Even with new fuel lines you are going to have a great deal of residue still inside the fuel tank, petcocks, and float bowls. Just like a blood clot in the human body, these can take the form of chunks that travel to different locations, causing additional issues. May I make 2 suggestions...
• Read, understand, and use top tier fuels.... http://www.toptiergas.com/licensedbrands/
• If you need a fuel stabilizer or cleaner, try StarTron.... http://www.starbrite.com/startron
All the best !
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
