Is youre fuel filter nice and clean,also youre float chamber on the carb any dirt in there and it will give you those symptoms,you can check youre pump by taking the main fuel line off and cranking the engine if fuel ****es out you know that side of things is okay.

do you have a diagram of the vacuum pipes as there one coming from the bottom of the carb/inlet manifold that is blocked off, ??? also does this connect in any way to the advance and retard as this is carb model been told it use a vacuum to sort this rather than an ecu ????
it was running ok until today there no vacuum in the tank in other words no hissing when you take cap off, im relly stumped i have no idea whee the fuel filter is as been told this model only has one on the end of the sender unit ???? its a gle 1.7 cataliyzer model 1992 Last edited by andrew81; Mar 2nd, 2014 at 22:28. |

Fill up the tank mate, that should help. I have done it in the past, worked out great.

there is a rubber one way flap valve in the bottom of the swirl pot which lets fuel IN but not OUT , i guess this is leaking , so emptying the pot when the fuel tank level is low .
