stripped and cleaned the whole fuel system tank,tap and carbs,she works thanks for advice given.

Hi, sorry but it seems that your model could have either a gravity feed or a vacuum type fuel tap, if you have already cleaned the tap out and found nothing then suspect carb(blocked jet or faulty float or float needle stuck) otherwise you will see a rubber pipe leading from carb to somewhere on/near the carb inlet stub and connects the two, the vacuum in the inlet operates(opens) the fuel tap as soon as the engine turns(rubber diaphragm inside the tap) only then will fuel flow to the carb, check pipe for good connection and/or blockage.

open the tanks filler cap and see if you have flow through the tap,

it maybe air locking.

on reserve fuel only enters the filter if you turn the tap off and on and shake the tank,the filter will not fill more than half way.

what happens when tap's on reserve position? does fuel come out?
