I found this to be a major problem on my big Comet. Reserve would not push fuel past the airlock that forms where the pipe is at its highest above the carb. living in the sticks I may well be 20 miles from a fuel station during the day and 50 - 60 miles at night. Keeping things topped up is not so easy. Last nights detour for car fuel found that even the pay at the pump supermarket stations now close at about 10pm.
My current plan is to fit a tee piece at the high point with a capillary tube bleeding the air to above tank level at the steering head. Just another little job to complete before the bike is finished.
