[Peugeot-L] Re: 1976 Gas 504 driveability - Carb jet question
Hi Kenneth,
Filter is clear and new, brass screens are clear.
Is there a filter anywhere else in the system? like in the tank?
Any idea how to test flow of the fuel pump? maybe it's the wrong one?
has a pinhole?
Can anyone help me find the specs on the carb jets? we're stumped.
Thanks
Joe
