The fuel line is connected to the anti siphon valve which is connected to the pick up tube. Use an open end wrench to unscrew the anti siphon valve from the pick up tube. Make sure to keep a wrench on the pick up tube fitting so you do not torque it when you unscrew the anti siphon valve
- Barry - yes the problem is that I can't get that siphon valve to turn. It's in a difficult place to get any torque on the wrench and there's the sealant too.
Chigwalla "Heat it up with a heatgun or IR lamp to soften the goo and it'll spin out." - is this safe? I have a heat gun just concerned about using heat around fuel.
I'm not saying if it's safe or not, but whenever I do that I use an IR temp gun to monitor temps to make sure that it does not get too hot. The problem is, who knows how hot that is?
To remove, suggest removing or cutting the rubber hose off. Get a deep well socket to fit the antisiphon valve, and use a wrench on the dip tube fitting
Look into product called Debond. It is possible that someone used 5200 to seal it. I have used Debond it will dissolve 5200, in a matter of minutes. That could be the reason why you can't loosen it.
Hey QBhoy - yeah I wonder about that too. I plan on going to the marina on Wednesday. I would like to rule out the anti-siphon valve though. To me the critical info is that it starts fine cold, and when it is warm it needs throttle to start. I'll keep you posted.
