GT-80 wont draw fuel
Hi guys. I'm new to gas engines. I have a Zenoah GT-80 that draws absolutely NO fuel whatsoever from the tank.
The throttle is open fully and the choke is closed.....no fuel!
Carb problem maybe???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Check the black hose under the carb for cracks or kinks
Check the screen in the carb under the same cover the hose plugs into
A Walbro will draw fuel over 4 feet straight up if it gets a pulse and there are no restrictions..

RE: GT-80 wont draw fuel
Your screen is clogged, or the carb has gummed up fuel in it. Take it apart and get anything rubber including the needle which should have a rubber tip or viton tip and use brake or carb cleaner. You need to be careful, wear safety glasses.
