RVF fuel tap

[lordcalv]

Been a good few years since I have been over here. Glad to see the old forum is still going!
Pulled the RVF out the back of the garage after a good few years of no use for some summer fun.
I'm not getting any fuel at the moment, quickly trace back to the tap. When I have the tap on 'reserve' or 'on' and apply some vacuum to the diaphragm side, not getting any fuel from the main outlet at all.
Is the tap servicable? I checked out the diaphragm side and all looks okay. What else can I check?

Cheers,
Chris

Can you take the tap off the tank?
If you can, see if you can suck on the vacume tube and tell if the diaphram is moving. it might be the diaphram is stuck closed. If you have the tap off might as well take it apart and clean it make sure all the internals are clean and moving freely.

Yeah, I've had the tap off and taken the diaphragm over off, all seems okay. Doesn't look like you can get into the actual tap side at all so at a loss as to what else I can try.

I guess you could try to blow the tap out with a compressor, take teh diaphram out and blow through the hole. turning on and to reserve. Take the strainer off or it might go flying
