Fuel line

Recommended Posts

I have  this old B1 allis with a brigs 7 horse no fuel pump  just gravity feed will not start all the time unless  I blow in the gas tank first  I'm thinking  the fuel line is to long or it makes to much of a loop down to bottom of engine then back up into carb. Thoughts?

Install a marine primer bulb at a low spot in the fuel line for instant starts.

It should have a 9hp Briggs. :confusion-confused:

 

If the fuel line has a high spot that can trap air this can cause an issue. Any pictures of your fuel line routing?
