[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 357797, member: 13140"] Ethanol fuel that we get today is prone to getting brown jelly like goo in it. Best thing to do as a first step is to give it a fast idle and block one carb at a time with a rag. This creates a high vacuum that will often draw the jelly thru the carb and you won't have to rebuild it. A fresh fuel line is always a good plan if your fighting a problem. I just buy good automotive fuel line and rebuild the bulb by taking apart the check valves in the end and cleaning it all up. Those primer balls will work one minute and not the next. Pull the ends off the bulb and clean it up but don't get the ends swapped. Fuel pump....Is so easy and cheap to rebuild that you might as well knock it out. I don't mess with fuel problems long. I cut my losses and go thru the whole thing once and then I'm done for years. Start with the crap in the bottom of the tank and clean and replace everything you can. [/QUOTE]
