Re: no start problem

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I would start with the fuel system. For whatever reason there does not 
seem to be enough fuel pressure to get the fuel to the engine. Pull 
the fuel filter and see if you are getting fuel to there. Replace the 
filter and see if any is getting to the mixture unit by loosening one 
of the banjo fittings from the filter. Do this point by point. If you 
are getting fuel it could be for whatever reason that the pressure is 
too low. To pin down the problem might require a fuel pressure tester. 
Before running out and getting one dig into the fuel tank and make 
sure that everything is in good condition and the pick-up hose is not 
kinked or split or soft. Maybe you are out of gas? It seems to me many 
of the fuel system problems start in the fuel tank from either 
bad-stored gas or deterierated parts. If there is ANY dirt in the tank 
you can be sure it is throughout the fuel system.
