I have a 2004 Volvo 5.0 CL-D that had no fuel problems when I winterized it last Fall. I have power to the electric fuel pump but no fuel to the carb. I always leave the tank full with stabilizer and get the first start in Spring with very little revolutions. Please advise.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,..... When was the last time the fuel filter was changed,..??

Dump the one on it now into a clear container, 'n inspect it's Contents,....

I use freezer baggies changin' filters,..

 

[ski_nuts]

Will do. Put this one on just two years ago.

Ayuh,... It should be, at a minimum, an Annual event,...

No water and only enough particles to gather in the bags corner to 1/4 inch.

Ayuh,.... Put on a new filter, pre-fill it if ya can,.....

Then remove the fuel line from the carb, direct it into a catchcan, 'n jumper the fuel pump,.... any fuel,..??

 

[ski_nuts]

Remounted the filter and turned it over for about six seconds and pulled it off again and it was completely filled.

I've got the air filter off and the carb remains dry and no smell of gas.

Had to skip the new filter for now. Did the test and got plenty of flow.

Ayuh,.... Then that leaves the Carb,.... Rebuild it,.....

OK, thanks.

I removed the throttle cable and was backing out bolts to remove the carb for rebuild and I gave the throttle a few pumps. What do you know, it squirted fuel each time. I reconnected everything and the motor started on second revolution.
