Gas Tank

[salazarp]

Hello there, Here is another preoblem I'm having, I have stored my T-Maxx for about 4 months and I did the corect methods of storing it. But Today was a nice warm day so I decided to run my truck but for some reason no fuel is getting to the carb, I had checked everything I could think of but fuel is not getting there. Any suggestions will help I would like to run it today if possible if not Tomorrow thanks alot.

Disconnect the gas line from the carb and disconnect the pressure hose from the exhaust pipe. Blow through the pressure hose and gas should come out the fuel line side.

Assuming there's gas in the tank and the lid is shut tight.

You need to look a several things. The first will be air leaks. Look at all the fuel lines and make sure they aren't plugged or have holes in them. Look at the seal around the tank lid to be sure it is tight. Make sure the pressure tube is connected to the exhaust pipe. Check all this first.


The issue may be in the carb as well.
If the carb is plugged up it will not allow fuel flow.

Try filling the tank up, remove the pressure tube from the pipe, hold the throttle wide open and blow into the pressure line. Fuel should flow up the line and to the carb. If not, you will need to do some carb cleaning.

There are many other things that could be the issue but check these first.

Well I rechecked Everything you all said and it came to be a slit in my sleeve(plastic) that connects from the exhaust to the engine, I didnt know thata little thing like that would affect the whole system. But thanks alot again.

Look for old gummed up fuel in your fuel line. Or there mit be air leaks. Or a bad tank..........Nick
