2009 honda no start metropalition gas to floatbowl but no fuel to cylinder

Post by justincases »

hello all, Ive got a 2009 honda no start metropalition, gas is flowing to the floatbowl but no fuel to cylinder Ive recently replaced the carb and fuel pump on the metro. But lwhen i pull the plug I find theres is no gas making it to the cylinder.
Ive seen at different places people talking about a fuel petcock that is vacuum activated. could this be the problem and if yes where is it located and how do i fix it..
Thank you in advance
Justin

Greetings:

If there's fuel in the float bowl, a petcock problem seems much less likely. Check engine compression. Check for spark while you're at it. These engines do need the valves adjusted once in a while and it's such a PITA that a lot of owners just watch the engine slowly lose power and die.
