Happy new year all

on a '61 1200 bug how likely is it that the fuel line is blocked. The engine would start but not tick over very well so I took off the fuel pump and it was nearly empty in the chamber, should this always be full? I cleaned the pump and refitted it, the pump is defo working as I can see the inline filter flex when the engine is running (barely). The refitted pump isnt filling with fuel.

If it is the fuel lines blocked is there an easy clean or do I need to replace them? Or could it be something else??

Ta for any thoughts

Try a fresh bit of pipe just loses fit to see if it helps , my guess would be week pump , I had same prob last year And with a new pump fir about 12 quid it started quick and went better

Get a container and take the fuel pipe off the carb put the pipe into the container the crank the enging over 2-3 times . iff theres fuel in the jug then the pumps working.

mine was pumpin ba but after running out of fuel it wound start , it was just not strong enuff , new pump and if started first turn and loads easy after .

You can tell if its working well by the volume and pressure its pumping at.

cheers guys, nothing coming through to the carb to like toast says I think although the pump is working there's not enough umph....GSF it is tomorrow then
