Re: New Toy CD-12 Tank Cleaning question

quote Fisherman6:

Mark, when you say no pressure how are you checking for pressure? Tank connected to fitting on the motor and motor started and died? Is the primer pump working to prime the carb? Are either of the O-rings leaking at the fitting on the motor? How much fuel is in the tank when you are trying to run the motor? I have seen the video of this motor running so either it did work before or it was running on a different tank. Trying to figure out how to start helping.

Ben,
This is a different tank. I got this one with the motor and have been attempting to recondition it myself. I purchased the tank used in the video from another club member prior to acquiring the motor.

The tank’s capacity is 4 gallons and it has 3 gallons of fresh gas in it. I pumped the primer (hose not attached to motor) and could not build up any pressure in the tank. If I do the same with my other tank, the one used it the video, it immediately begins building up pressure.
