HELP please!! carb/fuel issue

[rover220]

hi guys.

have had the carbs off and completely drained/cleaned etcetc. have refitted today with new fuel filter (bigger than oe one...is that a problem?)

i dont seem to be getting much fuel into the filter, when cranking i get the odd burst and the filter fills some of the way then dissappears. i guess this means the carb bowls are filling slowly?? how long/how much cranking is required to get th system full/ primed???

any tips appreciated.

Mine took ages from empty, and i was using a car battery!

quite a while, you gotta fill four float bowls remember and the pipe work from the pump up to the carbs

it always takes ages to start from dry i always start it with the air box off (and the tank turned round and bolted to the rear frame) then squirt a bit of easy start in each carb and it fires up instantly saves the battery from draining

yeah, i had the tank mounted on the rear frame.
