In Response To: One engine broken (Russ)

Is each engine running on a separate tank? If so, check to see if your port tank vent is clogged.If it is, at a point, she may not be able to suck in fuel because she's vapor locking. Also, when she won't start, try spraying a bit of fuel from a spray bottle into the carb. If she kicks over at all, it's definitely a fuel starvation problem. (you cant do this if you're fuel injected). Another way to test is to crack your port fuel cap so it's not sealed and air can get in. Good luck- Walter
