Hi There,
newbie here so please be gentle
Just got my TT out of storage, did the usual strip down, clean, lubricate etc.
It will start but it will not run on/tick over.
As there is no pump on the tank, I use a piece of pipe to pressurise tank and fuel flows no bother to prime the engine. Car starts but cuts out as the priming fuel is used up. I can keep the engine running by pressurising the tank via the pipe in my mouth but when I transfer to the pipe from the exhaust it cuts out, as if there's no pressure from the exhaust to the tank. Have cleaned out all the fuel and breather pipes, nipple on the exhaust etc. I can blow through the exhaust with both ends sealed and the nipple is clear. I have tested the tank cap seal in case it had perished but seal is fine.
Kinda stumped, hope someone has some ideas as to where to go with it now??
Cheers
Rob
