Hi I have a max with a 18 bs vangard in it ,I haven"t used it in years ,but now I am going over the machine,and getting it going.It started to get going,running a little rough,but that was because of the old gas.Know it doesn't pump up gas,I can see no gas in the new clear filter I put in.So I put a new fuel pump on still no gas ? what is wrong ? |

Chris
Check the fuel line, sometimes with ago the rubber inside the line will come off and block fuel passage. just to be safe install new fuel line

Chris, when you were changing the long fuel line from the tank, did you open the spigot and see that the fuel runs freely out of the tank? Just trying to narrow down the prob.
If you take the gas cap off and blow hard into the tank to pressurise it ,does fuel then flow into the filter? |
