Fuel Problem, Took Duster for a Shake-down Cruise

Good choices in the filter idea. It is very possible that it could be clogged. If you have a gas can, fill it. Run spare rubber hose (Fuel line) into the can from the fuel pump to find out if the pump works.

2 out of 4 check points down.

I would certainly run the fuel line as far from heat as possible. A metal line bent in front of the engine would be ideal. *I think* this is a item you can purchase new if you can not or dare not bend new line yourself.
