Got rust? Seats, panels, doors, windows, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Body & Interior' category are here.

fuel filter lows

Post by npca-manu »

Hi,   I've got a problem in the fuel filter. Gas sits just below the filter in the bowl and doesn't make it to the filter. I've cleaned, replaced, and tightned everything according to the manual. But it still sits below the filter. I've thought about going to an inline filter to see if it solves the problem but I'd like to eliminate everything else first. Any ideas ?   Phil

Sounds like you may have an air lock. Try taking the line off at the carb and turning it over until gas comes out into a jar or something. If you have a pump with a priming lever, use that instead to get the gas going through the line until you have 1/2 cup or so of gas through the line. Then connect up the line again.
