carb problems
Turbo Mini Forums

havin major head achce with my carb it just wont deliver any fuel at all, It was working fine then stopped. So thought the problem was dirt in the float bowl, stripped and blew out everything with the airline, but it still wont deliver fuel even though the float bowl is filling with fuel. Tried cleaning it a further two times but it just wont run!! any help appreciated!!!

Do a search , this subject has been discussed a million times, there is a quite an indepth thread around here somewhere.

Pay particular attention to part 3)

Yep agree 100%.

Do all the fuel pressure checks and then go from there.

yeah have done these checks as a matter of course, thats why i was asking, just wondered if there was any other common problems with the carb that may cause the fuel to not come through!!

Needle valve stuck/seized/blocked?

Float holed/full of fuel?

Air filter blocked?
Remember that it is the movement of air across the bridge of the carb that pulls the fuel out of the jet.

i once had a peice of salastic stuff stuck in the fuel pickup in the float area

have you checked the inlet for air leak or anti run valve if fitted
