huh, learn sommat every day . Mine has no jet in the return line and when I got the two ( return line and vent ) mixed up , I only knew as it pissed fuel everywhere when I filled the tank.
As a matter of interest , my paso 906 has a rotory vane type of electric pump , not a reciprocating one as I have been led to believe it would of had originally , and I just lenghtened the return line till I had sufficient pressure at the carb ( no idea what it is )

Thankyou to all who have quickly come forward with helpful advice. I fitted new hoses, checked that the restrictor was in place (it was), plumbed it all up correctly and it works. I can only assume that the float valve was somehow jammed closed initially.

However, all is well and it bursts into life as soon as I touch the starter button

Thanks again to all who helped

Cheers, CB

way to many gas fumes bet you blow your clutch out with air as well,Don't you


No Higgy, i don't blow out the clutch with an airline as even though asbestos hasn't been used for years i more than most are aware of the dangers of such an act, my Father died of mesothelioma.

My granddad died of cancer too . after having his lip , tounge , soft pallet and most of his throat removed in various opps , he had a hole put in his wind pipe so he could stick his fag in there and keep smoking talk about dedication
