I have one that empties the fuel filter but have no external leakage and no signs of it going in the crankcase. It does pump it right back up when cranking. Just wondering? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 160 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 160 | It should hold the fuel from draining back. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 106 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 106 | If you have any rubber hose sections in your fuel supply line, pinch it closed with vice grips, after running the engine, and see if it starts right up after a day or two.
Stovebolts are good for the heart

I was wondering where it was going like being drawn back to tank by a siphon effect or what. Like most projects you get sometimes the PO may not have done things quite up to par. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | I have had little pieces of crud get stuck in the valves and cause problems, it is apparent the valves are leaking due to something | | |
