Could be a weak petcock.
Had this problem with my '96
rode on for 2 yrs until the diaphram started leaking
replaced it with a '02 and it worked fine after that

Try replacing the vac line, make sure to clamp the ends, cable ties are said to be enough.

Yes, it could also be a clogged filter screen. Drain the tank, remove the petcock, and check to see if the filter screen is mostly white or if its rusty looking. White: good, rusty: bad. And if it's rusty, the rust came from inside your tank and will continue to be a problem till you make the tank clean inside. Some say to etch and re-silver, Srinath says there's a product he has used that worked.
