Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |

Fuel line size should be min. 5/16". Check for kinks. Also check fuel filter and flow out of the tank, there should be a strainer there. If everything else passes, see if Napa will warranty the pump.
