No gas in carb!
Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2018 3:03 am
I had posted a problem with a friend's 2T. After it fell over, it wouldn't keep running.
I pretty much took everything fuel-related apart and cleaned it.
Still no luck. Then we got it running. Without knowing what the prob was.
LATER: Today, I replaced his carb float because old one was full of gas, and finally it wouldn't shut off the fuel- gas was all over the place....
Put it together, IT WOULDN'T KEEP RUNNING AGAIN
No gas in the bowl! The tank was full. I had just put on a new gas hose.
We finally vacuum-bled the gas hose. Big air bubbles came out.
I think that air gets trapped at the dinky gas OFF-ON-RESERVE valve. If the tank had run dry, for example. Once we did that, gas flowed again. So that's what you should check if you aren't getting gas at the carb.
Peace
