My carb is having trouble getting fuel. If i open the fuel shutoff valve on the the fuel tank gas won't pour out. However if i take off the cap, fuel will pour out. I thought the caps were vented somehow, i can't really see however. I have the tank mounted on my rear rack which is above the carb. The gas dribbles and there are a lot of bubbles in the line. I push the primer and gas will slowly fill in the line. Then it'll start it up only to run about a mile then the line will run out of gas. Once the engine is off i have to manually fill the line by taking of the cap and priming it more.
On RC cars, nitro engine have pressure lines that go from the muffler to the fuel tank to push fuel into the carb at a very low pressure. I was thinking of tapping nipples into the exhaust manifold before the muffler, and into the fuel tank to push the gas into the carb.
Good idea?
