hey my blaster has been sitting in my garage for a couple of months and i need to drain the gas. Siphing it isn't working for me. Could any1 could teach me how to drain it from the carb? I tried pulling the fuel line but its not coming out.

 

pull harder! they can get really stuck, if you have enough slack in the fuel line just cut it off the nipple. lube the nipple with grease when you put the line back on.

 

yeh, once it's off, and you're sure that the valve is open, get a air line and blow air into the top of the tank, make sure the air doesn't leak out to much, it will force the gas to come out. Something is probably caught in the tank connection, the pressure should force it out, but make sure you disconnect it from the carb b4 you do that. If all else fails take the tank off and turn it over :-). Once you got fuel going through the line, carefully unscrew the bottom screws on the carb, it's call the bowl. Once you take that bottom plate off, which should have about 4 screws, you will expose the float. If it's working properly fuel will be coming out when you the the bowl off (the bowl should be full of gas) if that's happening then you're good. If not the needle valve is probably stuck. The needle valve is a valve that lets the gas in the bowl, if that's stuck closed you won't get getting gass to your engine, the needle valve is connected to the float. The float is a piece of plastic* that is big and would be "floating in the bowl of gas" if it were put together. Be carfeul when you are doing this b/c these peice are very important to the carb, and can be dammaged easily. hope that helps a little.

btw if the fuel line is stuck on for furture reference, just move the clamp and where it's stuck to the nipple, get a pair of needle nose pliers and simply twist it a little it will break free then you can easily pull it off then. it's just stuck from sitting there for so long, possbily since factory so you jsut ahve to break the seal a little.

 

You can just turn the screw at the very bottom of the carb and gas should flow out.It may take a while to drain the whole tank.Have you tried taking the fuel line off the tank and the carb?

 

yeh taking the screw out would work if it wasn't clogged or something, he said that he took the line off and nothing came out, that's why i explained all that, of how to get the fuel to actually come out.

 

I thought he meant he couldnt get the fuel line off so he wanted to drain it some other way.

 

If its only been sitting a couple months you should be fine. Add some seafoam to it if you wanna clean it out.

 

o my bad, just get the needle nose pliers and twist the line a little to break it free, then pull it off? i thought he mean the fuel wasn't coming out, not "coming off" i dunno =) hope this helps ya man.
