volksworld13 0 Posted February 12, 2011 can you hear the fuel pump prime? have you got fuel up to the metering head? how much fuel did you put it? if it went completely empty , i would a least put 3 gallons in, 3 jerry cans. also check all of your vacuum pipes to see if they are split or come adrift.

boost monkey 0 Posted February 12, 2011 probably some crap from the tank got sucked through the pump and it now blocking one of the lines as you ran it to empty. I'd recommend checking the lines from the tank are clear and maybe flushing the pump through with some good petrol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
