Hello zx6rg2

Can you describe the fuel system you have. The error light your seeing indicates a possible problem with your fuel system.

Sincerely,
Ed

Hi zx6rg2

Ok. What kind of pick-up are you using in your coke bottle? Also, have you checked the fuel filter to see if it is plugged?

If you have clear festo tubing back by the engine, do you see air bubbles in it?
