Hi all, got my gpz together at long last and here's the problem, as we all know engines need 3 things to run, fuel air and spark, well I've got no fuel getting through and if I can avoid it would rather not take the carbs off as its rather a tricky job. It's a inline 4, so any quick tips and ideas? Fuel tap is working.
Thanks

And to make things even more interesting the exhaust manifold has just exploded like a pipe bomb! Shards of exhaust on the floor... I'm going to burn this damn thing!

Well, exhaust aside.... You should be able to access all the carb drain screws with a decent long screwdriver without pulling any parts off.

Turn the fuel tap to prime (I assume its a vacuum tap) and try starting that way first. If it doesn't start on prime, leave the tap on that setting, open each carb drain screw individually. Is fuel coming out of each one?

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 15 years, 56 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
