i just brought a thundercheif 440 with a walbro carb can get any fuel thur carb have fuel to carb and the hose running from carb to motor is open and tight if i spray fuel in carb it starts right up then shuts down does any one know what suction pressure should be ? carb was just rebuilt .if i hold my finger over hose coming from motor i can feel suction any ideas would be a great help this is a new toy i like to restore thanks tom h

Tom: I would put a hose bib on an old can and plum it into the carb. Hold it up higher than the carb and give it a try. If it does not run; you got fuel pump or hose delivery problems. If it does not run; you still have something clogged up in the carb. It's real easy to miss something in those carbs.

IM WORRIED ABOUT THAT RIGHT SIDE, MOSTLY THESE T-20'S WARE ABOUT THE SAME ON EACH SIDE AND IF ONE SIDE WORKS FINE THERE HAS TO BE SOMTHING WRONG BIG TIME, I DON'T BELEAVE ITS SIMPLY AN ADJUSTMENT
MAYBE YOU LOST YOUR LINEING ON THE RIGHT SIDE,
OR A SHIFT COLLER, HOWEVER WITH THE SHIFT COLLER YOU WOULD LIKLY HAVE PARTILE USE OF THE RIGHT SIDE,
I THINK YOU NEED TO PULL OUT THAT TRANY
DON'T ADJUST IT TILL YOU HAVE HAD THE GUTS LOOKED AT, CAUSE YOU CAN ADJUST A BARE BAND TILL IT CAN STOP A DRUM BUT IT WILL QUICLY DESTROY YOUR DRUMS!THERS NO WAY AROUND IT, YOU MUST DO THE AUTOPSY BEFORE YOU CAN PROCIDE WITH ADJUSTMENTS!
