New engine won't start 1800

Jim;

If it has run, that sure suggests all the ignition variables are fine. As mentioned in another post, pour a teaspoon of fuel into each carb, and try to restart...if successful you need to find your fuel feed problem.


Or...why don't you remove the air filters and have a look at where the metering needles get pulled out of the jets as the dashpots rise...with some extra light, you should see atomized fuel getting sucked into the manifold..if not, you need to find your fuel feed problem...check pump output by pumping into a catch container, if OK, remove fuel bowl covers, and check for fuel in bowls, and free flow to jet (blow carb cleaner through feedtube with snoozle).

Good Luck
