FYI-
I would consider a 5 gal flow imbalance normal, a 10 gal imbalance cause for concern. There is no gurantee that whatever caused the imbalance will magically disappear and allow the full tank to suddenly begin flowing after the other tank runs dry. Flying with drastic imbalances expecting, hoping actually, that the full tank will begin feeding is foolish.
While some earlier Citabrias had an upper wing vent system, all of the later ones have a vent under the LH wing. This vent is protected from impact icing, in freezing rain, by a plastic ice deflector, this is the same reason most high wing Cessna fuel vents are just behind the lift strut. Both tanks are vented from a point outboard of the filler cap on the upper edge of the outboard end of the tank. A check valve is threaded into the tank, a line leads from the RH tank across the cockpit at the upper rear of the windshield, this vent line then attaches to a similar line from the LH check valve and exits the lower surface of the wing just aft of the ice deflector. The check valves are designed to prevent fuel loss in uncoordinated flight, when parked on uneven terrain, etc. I've never seen Champion/Citabria vent line check valves that functioned satisfactorily. I regularly see fuel streaming from my vent in slips, this with a new aircraft.
Because the tanks are vented the caps are NOT vented.
Uneven flow can be caused by leaking caps allowing the lower pressure on the upper wing surface to form a partial vacuum in the tank, a cracked filler neck (always do your own fuel, NEVER allow the nozzel to hang from the filler neck), a clogged vent line, a malfunctioning check valve.
