Hi all,
Ever since I rebuilt my M274A3 three years ago I've had virtually no
problems with it. Today I was driving around after my 3rd round trip
to pick up firewood when it just up and died on me. I figured it had
run out of gas, which I do think is the case. Filled 'er up with a
couple of gallons and thought I'd be all set. I've got an electric
start kit on it (thankfully!) and cranking over sounded normal, but no
ignition. I pulled the fuel filter and found some silt like rust
deposit in the bottom, but nothing major (less than when I ran it
before the rebuild). Next I checked the lines between the filter and
the tank and found them to be, as far as I can tell, unplugged. I do
not know about the line between the filter and the carb because I can't
get a wrench on it without taking apart half the engine. Yet when I
crank the engine over I'm getting no gas in the fuel filter bowl or
anywhere in the line between the tank and the filter.
Does this sound like a plug somewhere, or perhaps somewhere else?
Anybody have any suggestions what I should try next?
Thanks!
Steve
