Hey,

I went to start my engine for the first time today and i can't get fuel to the carby. Its a 32/36, i can't even get fuel to the filter. Whats the problem with it? Help will be appreciated.

Yep. Fuel delivery problem. Start with the filter and work from there.

All fresh lines. There is a little bit of fuel in the filter but not much. We didnt really try for very long. Should it pump through as the motor cranks? There was no fuel in the lines to start but there is fuel in the tank.

if its the mechanical pump, it will take a few cranks to start getting the fuel up,, just try putting a little fuel down the carb and starting it, the engine will run for a few seconds and that should almost be enough to get the fuel up to the carb

Thanks NickZ. I will let you all know how it goes in the morning.
