[DML] Re: Need help with a start problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would drain the fuel tank and inspect all the parts inside. Pay
particularly close attention to the suction (pick-up) hose for cracks,
tears, holes, or kinks. If you are getting good fuel flow (and you
have plenty of fuel in the tank) then you might have an ignition
problem. Start by cleaning all the connections at the ballast
resistors. They are the white thingys on the firewall towards the left
side. Clean the relay contacts nearby too.
