Disconnect fuel line from carb. Prime the pump. Do you hear the fuel pump and are you getting fuel?
The fuel line going to the carb is connected with a hose clamp I'm not familiar with. Here is a photo:
Can someone tell me the proper way to remove this clamp? I don't want to just man-handle it to get it off.
Is it okay to replace that clamp with a standard hose clamp from home depot (...the kind with the screw to tighten)?
When I do remove this hose, if I push the primer button should I see gas spurt out of this hose?
When cranking, and if the fuel pump is working, I guess I should see fuel squirting out of this hose when disconnected, right? If not, then it seems like a bad fuel pump (since I know my fuel filter is brand new) right?
Let me know.
Thanks!
