Hitchen187 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It the filter screen behind the tap the 2 posi screws that hold the dial in and iv just edited my post about my mix screw adjustment how does that sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted February 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm more concerned about the fuel delivery right now, just back out the mixture screw to 1 1/2 turns for now and sort out the fuel delivery, there are often 2 screens, one is inside of the tank and will need the tap to be unscrewed off to get at it, the other is often inside of the bowl of the tap isnt there a hexagon 10mm at the bottom of the bowl? *** IMPORTANT*** Always use a 6 point socket here unless the bowl comes off easily, dont force it or you'll risk rounding off the soft metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted February 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2014 well if the filters are clean and you have a poor flow on main supply, then something's blocked in the tap, so either clean it again untill it's fixed or replace it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchen187 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Iv only cleaned the filters on the end of the pipes i didnt no there was a filter in the actual tap iv got a mitivac at work so ill vacuum the see if any foreign matter comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchen187 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ill check if i can get unto the bowl 1st though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted February 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2014 There may be no filters in the tap, if it has an obvious bowl there shoud be, either way you need to sort this issue though. I do have to ask you this though..........when you reported a poor flow earlier when torned to ON..........you DID have lots of fuel in the tank eh....eh....eh??? Just looked in my manual, theres only the filters in the tank;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchen187 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah pretty sure theres plenty of fuel in tank but ill double check though i put like £8-10 worth init ill fill it up though and check flow again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitchen187 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah i blew through tap pipes and got an eye full of petrol (i left fuel pipe on pointing upwards) never felt pain like it lol iv ordered a new tap anyways so ill just change the little blighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Okidokei them fule taps are bad for the seal under the 2 screws holding it all to gether behind the flow selector,about 6 bucks for a new seal. They get hard and worn then when you turn the tap from 1 position to the next they rotate with the tap and block the fuel passage,it's the only part that can go bad in the tap.
