    Unhappy Starving Blackbird

    My blackbird seems to be starving for gas, heading to a servo today and she coughed a spluttered to a stop , Filled her up and only took 16ltrs so not empty, tried to start her up and no go. She tried to fire on full choke and that was all. Any ideas people?

    Many thanks in advance.

    possibly could be a vacuum leak...making it run too lean ...choke would make it rich enough to run ?

    Fwiw it could be running to rich and flooding,possibly try no choke and throttle wide open and hit the button.

    Might seem stupidly obviously but have you checked the fuel filter?
