Hi All,
my Prokart only has a single pulse pump and until recently, both engines were running superbly however, the left engine (furthest from the pump) is now showing bad signs of fuel starvation. Runs great (or did!) but now I struggle to start it and then it won't rev unless on choke. Idles for a little while then stalls. Carb is mega-clean and the fuel line all clear. When both engines are running, it will pick up (aided by the other engine no doubt) but throttle off and it hesitates before it picks up again or sometimes stalls.
All pointing to fuel starvation IMHO but the right hand engine runs superbly, does anyone else think it could be the pulse pump? Any other thoughts please?
Many thanks
