Possibly not getting enough fuel through the line when on reserve (or you're turning the tap the wrong way!) - could be blocked filter over the reserve part of the fuel tap - order a gasket (for where tap meets tank) and take it off, clean the mesh filters on the fuel tap (sitting inside the tank? - might actually be filtered in the fuel tap itself?) and replace the tap using the fresh gasket to get a good seal.... Just a thought. Paul (If it runs fine when on normal fuel tap position, forget about messing with carbs/air filter etc - look at the tap). Could also be water in the fuel, only getting into the carb on reserve as lower in the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
