No start after gas tank flush

[Curtis]

When I bought and drove my car home from CA the fuel pump went out. I put on an electric pump between the bowl and pump and away it went. Might be something you can try to make sure it is flowing fuel.

Later after I had replaced the mechanical pump and removed the electric one the car wouldn't run and wasn't filling the carbs. The culprit, the fuel bowl leaking air even with a new gasket. Took the bowl off and ran it over 600 grit on a piece of glass in a figure eight. Flattened out the rim and has sealed ever since.

Double-check you fuel lines at the tank. You may have crossed the fuel pickup line with the return line.

Not sure about the R16 but the U20 has in line fuel screens in the carb banjo bolts (fuel inlets) - try removeing the bolt and look for crud blocking the screen. Clean as needed in carb cleaner. The Screens need to be changed as part of maintenance - not sure of the service interval? 10K miles maybe?
