No the pump pressurises the tank and air pressure pushes the fuel into the tank.I checked out the YouTube video. On that specific application the gas cap has a vent. On mine there is no vent. It is a solid cap. Having said this, I did not think that the tank actually held any pressure. In other words I was under the impression that the carb diaphragm pulled fuel in. I'll reach out to Joe and see what he says. Thanks for sharing the link.
A fine point but you can not "pull" a fluid you can only push it . Some thing you should have been taught in high school physics .
So the pump pushed into the fuel tank .
Are you sure that you connected the carb properly ?
No where did ahdofu88 say he ha pulled the carb apart and found fuel in the carbThen why is there a fuel in the carburetor?
What he did say is removing the cap fixed the problem and that the problem takes a while to happen
So that points to a tank venting / fuel pump problem
HE has also replaced the carb however no mention of where he got the carb from so it could be a dud carb from Scamazon
