Hey guys, wanted to take her for a test drive and all seems fine woho Basically we added more fuel that helped but then massive airlock so used a electric pump to pull it up, reconnected to pump and way hey, To conclude if you run your tank empty then you need lots of fuel then a lot of air to bleed...

Woho finally got it sorted

Em that post wasn't on there yesterday, yup but says she still needs new tank,
As for my sisters yes we have brand new fuel pump, but still petrol won't flow from the tank, so assuming either big air lock or like that lady, some kinda issue with the tank where u can't run it below 1/3...?

wow thats seems remarkably similar and yes they had run it very very low(below the white of empty) still confused one guys saying more petrol ones saying new tank hum intresting, also a pain you cant see inside the tank

looks like it could be mate why not take it apart and see

Yeah mine two on heritage site it shows a I tank outlet strainer.?
