This past weekend, I dropped both gas tanks to replace a bunch of
cracked vent hoses. I also found the vent on the rear tank loose. It had
been repaired at some point in the past and the glue that was used was
now cracking and falling off. I repaired it with JB weld and it is now
nice and strong. Hoses replaced and everything put back together. I
tried to be pretty careful about making sure the hoses stayed in the
track and did not get pinched or crossed as the tanks got put back in place.
Poured 10 gallons of the 15 gallons of gas drained from the tanks back
into the tanks. But I could not get the engine to start back up again.
Turned it over for quite a while and drained the battery. It has been
charging overnight and I will try again late afternoon or this evening.
I can understand that it can take a good amount of effort to get the gas
back up to the engine given that the lines were emptied out and such.
But that got me thinking if there was a priming procedure when the tanks
have been emptied.
Any other thoughts of what I should do or could have missed?
Thanks.
