Guys - looking for a bit of expert advice here!
My R4F4 would not start (after a summer of very reliable motoring) and after a some messing with quick start it was clear that there was no fuel in the filter so was never going to start. I called the men in yellow who diagnosed a dead fuel pump as no fuel was being pumped out of the outlet pump. I replaced the pump with a new one and still no fuel appears in the filter bulb and no starting. I have primed the pump and even blown down the filler to encourage the fuel into the carb and all I got was a nose full of fuel when the tank blew back!
Does anyone have any ideas what I should do next - other than taking it to a professional!!
thanks in advance.
