Fuel filter so I can see there is no gas in it. Has plenary of gas in the tank. What options are there for fuel pumps for a 216 and who sells them? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | Have you purged the whole fuel line, including all fittings? Does it run OK if you dump some fuel in the carb? Is the fuel in the tank modern or antique? Is your fuel pump there, if so, take it with you to match up.
