[Public-list] air in fuel lines

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

It sort of sounds like you have fuel in good supply and pressure right up to
the hose barb on the carburetor. Have you had your carburetor dismantled for
cleaning (or ?) recently? Is it possible that the float in the inlet bowl of
the carb is out of adjustment?
