I checked the gas filter and it had fuel in it. I poured some gas down the carb and tried again and she fired and sounded pretty good, just like a twin 14hp should. It was a quick run then stopped. Tried again and nothing. Poured more gas down the carb and she fired up again but quit after using the gas.
Seems like a fuel pump to me. Any other thoughts?
Standard Cyclops drill. Pull the fender pan, fuel tank, remove all the fuel lines and toss them in the trash. Flush the tank, clean the shut off valves, replace all the fuel lines, filter, then see what happens. Plan on removing the top of the carb and cleaning the carb. Make sure the fuel shut off solenoid works.
