No fuel = No run

I got the new oil lines around 4 today.



Installed them, hooked up the battery, put Sharon in the driver's seat and gave it a shot - but no dice.

The engine will turn over and even run for a little while on starter fluid, but even after 2 minutes of trying to start it, no gas in the filter bowl.

Since I pulled the pump off earlier and it seemed to be working, I can only assume that there is some kind of blockage between the tank and the filter. Maybe sediment in the tank, or gunk in the lines.

I am heading down to the station to pick-up some clutch-head bits from Jon. Hopefully with them I will be able to pull the cover off of the gas tank and take a look-see.

Then I will look at the fuel lines and make sure they all seem to be clear.
