Fuel problem
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2024 12:05 pm
Hello All & Happy New Year...
The last time I had Fiona out, she was purring as usual, for about 15 miles then died and would not restart. Everything about it pointed to fuel, so a couple of days after I got her home, she started, and I attempted to drive it but only made it about 100 yards before she died again. Fortunately, my street is uphill so I could just roll back down the hill into the driveway. A few days later I tried to restart but found the crankcase full of fuel. After emptying and cleaning, I replaced the fuel filter and got her started. Now she will idle about 20 minutes sitting in the drive but will die after that, or if I try to drive her.
I am open to any suggestions, as I have put a new fuel filter and carburetor on her that now have less that perhaps 20-hours on them, even though I don't it was maybe a year ago because I don't drive her much.
Thanks for your help,,
Dennis
