[QUOTE="KlausRSA, post: 619292, member: 31324"] Not sure what I’m missing and need a fresh thought. Just imported two buses from South Africa. Buses went into the container running fine. Few months of container time (shipping delays etc) and I have a none start issue on both of them. New battery added. Turns over - not firing Remove fuel pump and oil cap - move fuel pump stand and pin to ensure not hydro locked Replaced fuel pump as thought maybe diaphragm may be dry from high heat in container. Drained fuel that smelt like varnish New fuel added Checked to see fuel pumping - bottle check to fuel line to to carb. Drained fuel res and checked float - sprayed with carb cleaner. Removed and cleaned main jet. Removed and cleaned air volume screw - spray cleaner in air volume screw port. Put all back together still not firing. Will run on starter fluid / petrol down the carb throat so I have ignition. Any thoughts ? [/QUOTE]
