[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 507870, member: 13810"] This is a nice easy one to check and will cost nuffink to check it. Pop the petrol pipe off from the carb or carbs so you have your petrol pump with a length of pipe hanging off it. Insert the pipe into a one and a half or two litre empty water bottle about an inch or so held sideways and get someone else to turn it over. The petrol from the pipe should hit the bottom of the bottle while you are turning over, might be worth taking your live off the coil and cover with a little tape so it don`t start, if it does hit the back of the bottle then you have a clean bill of health from the tank through the pump and then you is at the carb, and don`t forget to connect the live back to the coil. If it don`t start conventionally, try a teaspoon of petrol down the carb , if it does start then I`d suspect the needle and seat or the float or possibly shitty jets. You can do all this in twenty minutes or less and you may then get some direction. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Keep posting :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
