Mayhem Problem
Hello all, Got a mayhem about 2 gallons through the motor ( mach .26 ) glow plug is good, the needle settings are correct. Still cannot get started! When I put my thumb over the exhaust pipe to prime it no fuel gets to the carb., I checked the fuel lines all clean..... Now, if I put my thumb over the pipe and the air opening on the carb it will prime, but wont continue to let fuel in any ideas?? Goin nuts here!

RE: Mayhem Problem
I feel more sure you problem is the fuel tank. How do you check it?
1.- Take off you fuel tank, with the both fuel line.
2.- Put the fuel tank inside of the water.
3.- Put you thumb in the fuel line (fuel tank to carb)
4.- Blow in the fuel line and check in the water.
Anotehr point, only check the air filter is clear.
