Air in fuel line

[floresyoung]

I had a leaks at the tank fittings and inline filter .I put a new fuel line from exterior gas tank to motor fixed with an inline filter and bulb like it was before. I think I saw air bubbles in my line through the glass of the filter and my motors starts fine and stays on idle but wont accelerate with the throttle just stays on idle like if nothing happened. I don't know if the air in the line could be the problem if so.How do I take the air out of a fuel line?

Re: Air in fuel line

As TD said it isn't air causing your problem, the gas goes into the float bowl so any air bubble would come out there and the pick up for the jet is on the very bottom of the bowl so air can't get there.

Sounds like a mechanical issue, broken throttle cable or really dirty carbs ect.

Get up your engine model an power so the pros here can help you.

If new air bubbles are appearing in the filter case, it definitely is a problem. The norrmal large bubble at the top of the transparent filter case is not a problem. Air leaks in the line of VRO/OMS pumps creates an unbalanced fue/oil mix, and too much air will cause the engine to run lean.
