What do you need to if no fuel is going the motor?

If there is no fuel going to the motor, there are several things you need to check:

1. Check the fuel source:

- Ensure that the fuel tank has sufficient fuel.

- Verify that the fuel line is properly connected to the fuel tank and the motor.

- Check for any leaks or blockages in the fuel line or fuel filter.

2. Inspect the fuel pump:

- If your motor has a fuel pump, ensure that it is functioning properly.

- Check for any electrical issues or clogging in the fuel pump.

3. Clean the carburetor or injector:

- Over time, the carburetor or injector can become clogged with dirt and debris.

- Clean the carburetor or injector according to the manufacturer's instructions to restore fuel flow.

4. Check the fuel filter:

- A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the motor.

- Replace the fuel filter if it is dirty or clogged.

5. Examine fuel lines and connections:

- Inspect the fuel lines and connections for any cracks, leaks, or blockages.

- Replace damaged fuel lines and tighten loose connections.

6. Check the fuel pump relay:

- If your motor has a fuel pump relay, ensure that it is functioning properly.

- Replace the fuel pump relay if it is faulty.

7. Check the fuel pressure:

- Use a fuel pressure gauge to measure the fuel pressure in the line.

- Compare the measured fuel pressure with the recommended pressure specified in the motor's manual.

8. Diagnose electrical problems:

- Check the electrical connections, wiring, and sensors related to the fuel system.

- Use a multimeter to test for continuity and voltage in the electrical components.

9. Inspect the fuel tank vent:

- A blocked or malfunctioning fuel tank vent can create a vacuum that prevents fuel from flowing to the motor.

- Clean or replace the fuel tank vent if necessary.

10. Professional assistance:

- If you have tried these steps and still have no fuel flow, it might be time to seek professional assistance from a mechanic or small engine repair specialist.
