I have a 1200 wagon and fuel just seems to have stopped.

I pulled the fuel filter off and checked it for flow and it was OK. There is no petrol in the filter though.

What else can I check?

I have checked for spark and turned it over with some fuel tipped into the carby and it fires ok so thinking definatly a fuel problem


Any help would be nice :)

Check for split in the lines around the fuel filter etc.Had a similar prob lately and found a split line on the fuel filter was sucking air.

OK funnily enough after writing this i went out to check the filter again and noticed that there was some petrol in there this time...... So i poured some more petrol down the carby and wound it over till it fired up and now seems to be working fine again? Random

I think you may have it DatsAndy though as i noticed some fine cracks around the hoses.

I'll swap em out later.

Could be rust in the tank too as its been sitting around the last 10 years in a paddock.

Thanks for quick replies. Awesome!
