Re: fuel problems

Hey,<br /><br />Sounds as if your carby clean job isn't all through yet?<br /><br />Check if your worries change when you squezze the bulb (constantly) while testing. If so your fuel supply needs checking (that is: if helping the pump by squeezing the bulb solves it, your pump isn't working/restricted/leaking).
