do you have the fuel tank check valve installed or are you using the looped fuel line approach?
If you're using the check valve, remove it to see if the problem still occurs. If not, either replace the chk valve or use the loop.

If its not a plugged 1 way valve as Carey says, do you have the Minair supplied stents clunk in there? That clunk material is too fine and it can clog up with oil or cold weather when oil viscocity increases. I had issues on my birds with that clunk and I changed it to the Walbro felt clunk which in my opinion is much better.
You can read a detailed post about this on Runryder if you like. Just search for my user ID rbort and stents and you will see the details.

Removed the oneway and double looped the vent line.
I believe it is fixed!
