How much fuel is in the tank?

Does it run when set to PRI?

Posted by: WOWA450RRRR

yes it runs on prim as well.....plenty of gas

Since both ON/RES use a vaccum it doesn't sound like that is the issue is RES is working. If PRI works then fuel is feeding correctly (gravity method). I would check the petcock filter. There may be some type of blockage near the top of the filter.

Yeah check the screen for the petcock. ON would be the longer one. You can remove it with the 2 screws on the bottom of the tank. If that checks good pull the petcock apart.
