Enigma Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Last friday I had the Command mostly re-assembled so started it....start....staaaaaaart! OK, no go - damn it. Called a friend....:help: Later we found out it wasn't getting fuel.:??? Fuelpump checked....its OK. What then? Put some fuel straight in the carb and it ran. So lets put the small fuellline to the fuelpump in a tin of fuel and handprime. AH! :pfrt: fuel leaking from the line itself. Today, drove 42 miles to get a new line and back, installed it and primed, line ok but what the &^#%#.:mad: Fuel being sprayed on my hand. AAAAAHHHH.:argh: Its coming from the fuelline from pump to carb where its attached to the pump.. IDEA.:idea: Lets turn the line it around and start....it runs!! Damn, fuel leaking from the fuelline near the carb. :nut: so its the attachment. Another drive (42 KM) to get another and back (42km). Installed and test...Fuel leaking from the short fuelline &*#&^$*#@ :noyay: Tightened it and HURAAAAH,:banana: NO leaks. Test drive went OK, sounded a bit rough at first but it had been sitting for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Well, the problem is I have to work outside (no garage) or in the bike shed. So storagespace the big parts like panels is very limited. And offcourse rain means not much work can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
