Hello everyone!
I was trying to start my 85 aspedcade 1200A last week. I picked up a new battery, and new fuel pump. Installed both and tried to crank her up after a 4 year hibernation.
I got plenty of spark, but no fuel making it to the cylinders. (I forgot to connect a fuel line when I first cranked it and fuel shot out) - so I assume the new fuel pump is ok.
After a round of cranking the starter, I put the battery back on the charger.
QUESTION: Went back out and, just for the heck of it, I removed the screw shown in the picture.
Fuel came squirting out for a good 2 seconds! I know it shouldn't be in there!!
Why was it in there, what would cause that?
For starters, I've ordered my carb rebuild kit from Randakk's already. I hope to start that next week.
Could I have another issue too?
