[Zmagnette] Problem

[Wayne & Isabel Hardy]

ALSO don’t forget to check the little fuel filters at the SU Carb inlets. The older ones had a little fine copper / bronze “screen” at the very inlet to the float chamber and these too can over time become plugged with fuel trash. All my filters got plugged a few years ago due to some long time moisture in the tank. Cleaned the tank and 4 filters to get the “stoppages” to stop occurring. Inside the tank, at the fuel pump and at the carbs, as well as flushing out the fuel lines several times really well with alcohol and fuel and carb cleaner mix.

Arch,

There is a screen filter in the bottom of the tank,  You can get to it through a hole in the bottom of the body.  may not be the problem if your tank is clean and you have been using clean fuel.  My first guess is the draw tube in the top of the tank.  I had a similar problem with my ZB when I first got it.  When I pulled the fitting from the top of the tank the draw tube stayed in the tank.  I was able to get the tube out with the screen on the bottom.  My tube was soldiered into the fitting and the soldier joint had given up.  It was an easy job to reattach the tube to the fitting.

  My car has been driving me nuttier recently.  It would be bopping along just fine running pretty good for an old gal.  Then, without warning, try its damned ness to die.  Bleeping the throttle with AAA thoughts in my head it would come back to life.  So, this afternoon I started the shotgun approach.  Replaced the fuel pump, replaced the fuel filter and when I took the vice grips off the line from the tank no fuel went into the filter.  Loosened clamps to filter and still no gas leaving the tank.  I am assuming there is a filter in the tank that filters gas before it exits tank.  Yes?  No?
