First thing is to determined where the bang came from. It may be a fuel leak. Did it catch fire or just make a loud sound? Sounds like the fuel pump's gone.
I`ve found that in any vehicle if you can pour gas down the carb to make it run and you know the fuel pump is working (plenty of gas to the carb) than the diaphragm in the carb must have a small hole or crack which makes it loose pressure. If you rebuild the carb there will be one in the kit. Bad needle/seat valve? Float not adjusted properly?
Carb.? On the inlet fuel line to the carb.
Carb.? At the front lower section of engine - follow the fuel line from carb. Fuel injected? In the fuel tank Carb.? At the front lower section of engine - follow the fuel line from carb. Fuel injected? In the fuel tank
in the fuel line going into the carb in the fuel line going into the carb
you need to check the fuel pump and fuel filter if the fuel pump is not working start in the fuse pannel
If it has a carb.- - at the inlet fuel line of the carb.
If it has a carb. on the inlet fuel line to carb.
threaded into the front of the carb. Follow the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carb.
You can start on either end - carb or fuel tank. Look for: Stuck float in the carb Stuck needle and seat in the carb Fuel pump not working Fuel line kinked, broken, or plugged Fuel tank pickup blocked or broken off Not enough gas in the tank Unscrew the clamp holding the glass bowl to the fuel filter (under the engine), clean out filter and replace it, checking the seal is good
From the factory, the fuel filter would be in the Q-jet carb. You have to disconnect the fuel line at the carb and remove that housing on the carb. Filter is inside.
Do you mean the starter will only turn if you put gas in the carb? Or do you mean that it will only RUN when you dump gas in the carb? If the latter is the case, your fuel tank is empty, your fuel pump is not working, or there is a clog in the fuel line.
If carb. should be located in the fuel inlet line of the carb
