Tyler23 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 is there a fuel shut off valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Make sure the bulb in the line is working and not put in backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfixer Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It has a built in fuel tank, correct? As mentioned, check the shut off valve and the inline filter. Also, you just cleaned it? did you replace the inlet need and seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthehollow Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I blew through every thing I was guessing if the fuel shut off turned it was working I thought I found the problem when I tool the float off the needel there was stuck shut but still no fuel bigger problem now is it is my father in laws motor he decided to replace the recoil spring the first 30 minutes was very enertaining he has the pacients of a two year old so I will look at that when he is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken_line Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 is the tank dirty?? something could be clogged somewhere also put a little wd 40 on all moving parts in the carb to get things moving so gas can get in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfixer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Replace the needle, if it stuck once, it will stick again, its swollen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
