[barrentine934]

I bought a 80's model kawasaki 440b hydroturf jet ski.It had been sitting in the mans barn for 13 years.I installed a carb kit in it.It will not pump the fuel into carb.I rigged another fuel tank up and held it above carb (gravity feed) and it runs fine.Hook back up to jet ski fuel tank and nothing.any help is appreciated

Did you check the fuel pump, is the pulse tube hooked up, do you know if it has compression on the cylinder that drives the fuel pump, did you check for blockage in the fuel lines or fuel pickup , I hope you totally removed the tank and cleaned it out real good.

Also check to see if there are any pressure relief valves that are clogged? Does it work with the gas cap off?

Fuel filter? Cracked fuel line?

Also I'd check out pwctoday.com, lots of info on there about kawi stand ups.
