NC35 Fuel Problem
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2018 10:24 pm
Hi, I need some help please.
I have an NC35 that won't start. Its been standing for a few months and when I came to start it yesterday it fired up briefly for a few seconds then died and I've been unable to restart it. I've traced it back to what seems like no fuel reaching the carbs. I've checked the fuel tap works when a vacuum is put onto it (using a length of hose and sucking on it).
The problem seems to be no vacuum coming from the vacuum hose which is connected to the inlet manifold ?. The hose is in good condition with no splits or cracks. I can suck and blow into the hose, theres no restrictions.
When I crank the engine over I can bearly feel any vacuum being pulled. Any sugestions as to why I'm not getting a vacuum and what I need to do next.
Appriciate any help you can offer.
