The switchover valve that's operated by the overboost pressure switch on

I doubt the overload valve would be intermittent.
Tank vent is easy to check, just don't tighten the filler cap.

it has been ongoing for several months. I will get the tanks as low as
possible and check the tank screen.
I'm getting the idea that lift pumps don't have many problems in the 617

The hand-operated primer pump can start to leak air. Try using it,
