no fuel

[dwint51]

I started my 2t a few days ago and it ran fine.tried the next day and it woulnt start so I checked the fuel line and it was coming from the filter when trying to start it.started right up when I put fuel in the head.today its not coming out of the filter.i checked for cracks in the lines,cleaned carb.what goes out on these the most?i think I have a vacuum problem but it was running on its own days ago.

[dwint51]

just blew into the gas line from carb to tank and its clear.i can blow into it but cant suck it out.tried sucking and blowing into the other line from tank and it doesn't blow or suck.tried doing the same thing from the petcock and you caqnt blow2 or suck.so is this the way its suppose to be?

You can't suck gas threw a vacuum assisted fuel pump... that I know of. :hmm:

They are the same fuel pumps that are used on most snowmobiles.

Take a peek here and see if you can find a pic of your fuel pump.

Can You post a pic of it ?. A pic speaks louder that words.

And could You please put in your sig what you have.. Year/Make/Model

Then it won't be a guessing game with what You own. :hmm:

[Guest_3]

I wouldn't say alot, But you can get a bad one.

Dee had one go bad with only 11mi's on her scoot. :tdown:

im not getting gas from my filter when I try to start it.there are so many canisters and vacuum lines I don't no what to do.is this a fuel pump problem?if it is are they fixable or would I need a new one?

[Firehawk989]

Usually the 50's are gravity fed from the tank unless they are fuel injected instead of carb. There should be a petcock with 3 connections on it: 1 for fuel in, one for fuel out, and another for vacuum. If connected properly, it should allow fuel through when vacuum is applied. You can test by sucking n the vacuum line. If it doesn't work, then your petcock is bad and you need a new one.

In addition to what Firehawk posted,If the vacuum hose going to the petcock has a vacuum leak,the petcock will not open. That happened to me once.

i have a 50cc jonway 2t and no gas is going to carb when I try to start it.the filter line that goes from tank to carb I can blow into it and hear the gas in the tank butet cant suck.there is another line coming from the fuel pump and I cant suck or blow into it.that doesn't sound rite to me.im trying to figure out where to start or if this is working rite

[Guest_3]

You have 3 other threads going saying about the same thing.

Maybe its time to take it to the shop and let them fix it for ya.

You would of been riding it weeks ago if you did.

I'm not being mean at ya, its just my opinion. :cheers:

[dwint51]

I hear what you're saying but im on disability and money is tight.i fix my own motorcycles ,cars and lawn mowers but this has me stumped

[Guest_3]

Its gotta be something that you're over looking ?

When I was trying to figure put my lack of fuel issue, I found mine worked on TINY amounts of suction.
Mine is fit under the gas tank, with 2 nipples, gas out and (I think to a 3 way fitting one went to the carb) vacume line.
So when it would not start, I'd remove the tubing from the Vac nipple, at the pump, attach a length of tubing that fits that nipple, then like priming a hose as you would to siphoning gas, except sipping in tiny amounts of pressure, the flow would start.....to much, or to hard, the flow would stop.
So a 20" length of 1/4" tubing is in my tool kit under the seat.
And, yes I did replace that pump, all hoses, and added tiny hose clamps to all hoses, completely removed the gas tank and cleaned it.
It's still that way. Runs for while then I have to siphon it, it only takes me like 20 seconds now, but that sucks at a traffic light when it happens.
