Banana engine won't rev

Postby E15mas » Sun Oct 07, 2018 7:11 pm

Hi problems with my 2.5 banana
Started yesterday morning and started fine but as I set off it felt gutless thought it would clear but didn't so changed filter and no better no air bubble coming up the feed pipe has now got worse and will struggle to rev up at all and can get it to about 3000rpm but it will stay there for a few seconds the the revs drop of and it tries to dies even thou foot flat to the floor tried feeding direct to the pump from a jerry can but no differant any ideas guys thnx in advance

Have you done the leak off pipe work mod the return pipe from no4 injector needs re pipeing so it comes off number 1 injector and the bung on the end of the no 1 needs to go on no 4
