" Joe,

I'm still waiti

" Joe,

I'm still waiting on the manual but, I had a few questions. The small lines that you spoke of are they the two lines that run to the carbs? My motor has the large line that runs to the bottom of the box that the solenoid is attached. There is one small line (1/8") that runs down to a white screw in unit with two wires out of the front. The box has two (3/8") lines that run to the fuel rail on each side of the carbs. There is one vent line on top of this box that runs to the air cleaner. I think that I pulled the wrong one being the 1/8" line running to the white valve. I had the primer bulb pumped up and when I released this one fuel flowed out of it. When I checked the primer bulb and pumped it it sprayed fuel. I take it that maybe I should have removed the fuel lines from the carb manifolds. Thanks again. I will keep you informed.

"The primer solenoid has three

"The primer solenoid has three hoses connect to it. One is larger than the other two and is secured with a tie strap. This large hose is the incoming fuel to the solenoid.

The other two smaller hoses are the ones of which I speak that would deliver fuel to the intake manifold, priming the engine, or you could look upon it as a choking action, throwing fuel to the cylinders.

I retired before that engine came into existence so there will be design changes that I'm not aware of. However, the basic fuel design stands.

Has the engine sat for a peri

Has the engine sat for a period of time? If so its possible that the VRO has pumped Straight oil into the carbs. I have seen this happen many times...other than take the carbs off you can just keep priming the engine until the carbs clear.
