G1 Won't Start (No Fuel) After Two Days of Sitting

mjvero · 10-17-2017, 11:00 AM

Hello, My G1 runs perfectly when it's running. If it sits over night, it will start fine in the morning. After two days, it won't start and I have to pressurize the tank or start with starter fluid again. I replaced the fuel line, tuned it up, new plugs, air filter, fuel filter. I even tried putting a fuel check valve inline so fuel couldn't run backwards. I'm kind of stumped. Is it a fuel pump probelm like an air leak? Thanks for any advice.

Is the bowl on the carb leaking? Even if the gas drains back into the tank there should still be enough fuel left in the bowl to run for a little bit after it sits a few days and you try starting it can you smell gas or is the plug completely dry after turning it over for a minute or two?

Hey, Thanks for your response. I don't smell gas, I will check the plug tonight.

The spark plug was dry and the carburetor bowl was leaking. I replaced the carb and runs great. Just have to let it sit for a few days to see if it will start. My guess is that's what the issue was. I will report back next week.

Thank you for your help.
