Hi all
I have a mountfield sp414
it was working fine but then died in use. fiddling around i discovered the pipe from the tank to the carb was split.
I replaced this primed the carb and it run for about 3 seconds. it would not catch when i pulled the starter cord.
Primed it again and the same thing happened.
So i deduce that there is no fuel getting to the carb unless its pumped by the primer.
The fuel pipe is new so cant be that. An ideas what it could be?
could it be an airlock in the carb?
Thanks in advance
