I just got a 1996 ts montego dlx with a 640 suzuki engine.
It hasn't been run since 2003.
It had always been serviced and stored by dealer.
I drained the gas and put in new.
It ran great for 3 seperate outings.
Now it doesn't get any gas to the carb.
I can get it to run by pouring gas in the carb or down the spark plugs but it won't stay running after that gas has gone.
I took apart the carb and cleaned it as well as the carb filter. (It was very clean to beging with but I cleaned it anyway)
I checked the fuel filter and it looks clean.
I took the fuel line off at the carb and tried to suck gas through and got nothing.
If I blow throught the same line I can hear air venting out of the gas cap.
I would think I would hear gurgling or air bubbling into the gas tank but I don't.
Any ideas what to look for?

my 96 montego did the same thing, check the fuel pickups inside the tank thats what was wrong with mine quick easy fix

How do you check pickups? I myself have the same problem and I am thinking it's the diaphrams that work the fuel pump in the carb. I have taken out each of the lines that go into the fuel tank and have found no fuel Pickups? Please advise what they are actually and how to find/test/clean.

Thanks
