amutantman2912 New Member 6 Member For: 9y 1m 3d Posted 22/08/17 04:25 AM Author Posted 22/08/17 04:25 AM (edited) problem solved ..... when they replaced fuel pump they didn't put clamp on line from tank. this had come loose and was sucking air instead of gas. one hose clamp later problem fixed Edited 22/08/17 04:26 AM by amutantman2912 1
