Troubshooting mystery test!

Same tank, may have pulled the brass tube out far enough to drop the clunk line of inside.

If the brass has sharp end it will cut even now fuel line. mk

pulled the tube out far enough that he pulled the feed line off inside the tank!

As already suggested he pulled the brass tube out of the clunk line, which is now sitting in the bottom of the tank while the tube sucks air and occaisonally some fuel.

By any chance did he use as much force fitting the new line? He could have pushed the tube back into the tank, also pushing the clunk up against the back of the tank. This would give poor fuel feed if not blocking it entirely.

It's quite possible that the fuel in the tank is foaming. Is there any way to see the tank while the engine is running? If it's foaming, put good foam latex between the tank and any hard surface. Do NOT, under any circumstances, add any ArmorAll.

Some have added ArmorAll to fuel to cut down on foaming. I also understand that this isn't good for the glow plug element. I personally have not used ArmorAll in glow fuel. I have used a product called Foam Out in a hot tub. One drop kills any foaming in the tub. I wouldn't add any to glow fuel either.

Probably hooked up the tank backwards. Clunk line to muffler, pressure line to carb. Did that myself today and got mentioned results.

RCFlyr sed that d:^)

Thanks to all who replied. The problem turned out to be what mk (Storm's Hamburgers), JIm Slaughter & The Raven suspected. Congrats to all. Thanks also for the other, entirely likely possiblilties suggested. The sniveling newbie is now required to wear a red pointed cap with a bell on the tip while flying for a week. Cheers - LeeH

Hey, where can I get a few cap's like that? We got a few dunderheads in my club....................
