JohnnyMaryjo Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The . fuel line to the carb. picture shown I took apart to see if fuel was flowing when I took it apart there was what look like a jet does the jet end of it look like a needle go into the carb or into the line ? or the larger other end part go to the line or carb. I placed the nipple end into the carb ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The stock fuel inlet needle valve has a pointy tip. This tip points away from the carb bowl. Tip points in towards fuel line coming from the fuel pump. The other end if it is flat. It contacts the tab on the float inside the carb bowl.

JohnnyMaryjo Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 thank you I have the point going to the bowl ? so its the other way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFeeney Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Another way to look at this problem . The fuel pump has a gas line going to it from the gas tank. The other line from the fuel pump goes to the carb. . If you take the line loose at the carb and put a piece of hose on it the gas will come out the end of the hose. Put the hose in a can away from the engine. If you crank the engine over the fuel pump should pump gas into the can. You can also run the engine a short time with spray either. and see gas flow. Be extra careful with any container with gas in it and have a fire extinguisher or garden hose handy. If you are getting good gas flow you have eliminated a fuel pump or gas tank problem, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyMaryjo Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 I did that and no gas is coming out the hose from the fuel pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithb7 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Pretty confident. See my video here. https://youtu.be/wHxYYwa1jCU If your fuel Inlet is not shutting off and you are spewing fuel everywhere there are a few reasons. Needle valve stuck open for some reason. Check for obstruction. Too high fuel pressure from fuel pump. Carb Float has a hole in it and won’t float. A few examples to check.
