Awesome Martin,
Thanks for the info. Well it looks like I'll be drilling the tank lid as it seems that I have a faulty fuel pump. I have spark but no fire. I unplugged the fuel pump electrical connector and it shows 12V when the ignition is on. Another wire at the plug shows 12V while it's cranking. But still no fire. I took the plugs out and squirt in about 2cc of fuel straight into the cylinders then put the plugs back in and cranked it. It started to fire and was hunting for awhile till the fuel ran out so I guess it's a new pump needed.
Where does everybody get there spare parts from?
Cheers,
Frank
I can assure you that drilling this hole works a treat. If your drill bit is a small bit bigger reduce the distance out from the pivot as there is a ridge that a bigger bit will hit.
I did that with my RT, then took cap apart and sorted it out. The swarf stays inside the cap, doesn't go in the fuel tank. You will see three screws on the underside of the lid when its open. Best bet is take off the cap and tape over the tank hole with masking tape.
