Trying to fix one problem and I find another. This one is completely new. I get no fuel flow. Only if I completely plug the exhaust tip. I've never had this problem before and it worked fine two days ago. All I did was a normal cleaning, like every other cleaning I've done. A few drops of afterrun oil and done. I've checked all my lines, my plug, my exhaust connections, everything.
Nothing, no movement at all unless I plug the tip. Like the subject says, screw it......I quit.
 
Sounds like it's time to just set it down and walk away for a while. Don't worry, we all get there every now and again. Heck, I haven't started my Maxx in 4 months. But I'm about to dig into it again.

For what it's worth, sounds like a leak or blockage. Check your pressure line from your pipe to your tank and see if there's a little hole in it. And check the fuel line, too. You may have to gently stretch the fuel tubing to see the hole clearly. And you said you just did a cleaning. Did you remove the pipe or header? I'd also check the header gasket and make sure the pipe coupler is still sealing well.
 
I agree set it down and walk away for a few. Been there done that.

also check for any kind of air leaks. o rpin holes as mentioned.
 
Check your fuel filter. Might be clogged or have fuel gelled in it. Just a thought.
 
I think I have it. After a complete engine disassemble, thorough cleaning, new lines, new exhaust gaskets, etc. I put in on the starter box and nothing. Same problem. So I asked myself, aside from cleaning it the other day, what else did I do. I adjusted the LSN to 3 turns out when it has always been at 5 turns out. So, with the LSN 3 turns out I blow into the exhaust line and as I slowly open the LSN, violla !!! fuel flow. Am I on to something or am I reaching ?
 
K, call off the dogs. All is well. Let me first Thank those of you who told me to take a break, walk away, and try again. I had my LSN/HSN too far in and it was restricting the flow. Just enough to where the normal pressure from the exhaust wouldn't work unless I plugged the tip, which would give me maximum pressure.
Now that supper is late and my bench looks like a tornado hit it,
it doesn't matter, it's back to where it was. Again, Thanks for the support guys.

Just goes to show you
K.I.S.S. really works (Keep it simple stupid for those who dont know) You start thinking too hard you oversee the easy solutions
 
I concur motofrk. Done that plenty of times in the past, then you find out you missed one simple but rather obvious step.:hehe:
