[C320-list] no fuel getting to motor...

[Jeffrey Hare]

Oops..  No fuel from the tank... I get it.  The racor shutoff wouldn't
matter.  :)

And you said the small semi-hidden brass shutoff on the tank itself is on.  
Maybe the little handle is spinning and not opening up the valve?

Any chance that your fuel tank vent has some critters or corrosion blocking
it up?  
Try unscrewing the fuel filler and see if you get fuel then...

Hi Tim,

  If you've recently changed your fuel filter, the RACOR has a shutoff on
top.  It's a slotted plastic disk on top that is about the size of a nickel
I think.  It could have gotten turned thinking that it was loose.

went to start my engine today hoping to get in by Memorial day and all went
well except I was not getting any fuel to my motor. I did the bleed thing at
the filters but still no fuel, finally just disconnected the line from the
tank and still no fuel. Yes, I did check the valve it is on....so next plan
is to blow some compressed air into the line and see what gives, any
suggestions, comments, thoughts?
   
  thanks
