YY250T Not Getting Fuel

[bigcanuck]

My 2008 Jonway YY250T isn't getting any fuel to start. I've got spark. I got it to fire with some gas in the cylinder. Completely cleaned out the carb. Soaked the jets in cleaner and reinstalled. Everything is shiny clean!

I suspect it's the fuel filter or the fuel pump. I read an interesting post where a weak fuel pump will run fine at low speeds but will die at higher speeds. I've had that problem for about a year, where I can't ride above 55/60 without killing the engine. Now it won't start. Is the fuel pump suspect?

I've had the back end all apart but haven't messed with the fuel tank area. Is the fuel filter easy to get to? It doesn't show on the engine diagram I have. Does the filter need cleaning often? I'm at about 6000 miles.

OK, I tried to order a fuel pump and filter assembly from chinesemotoparts.com. Looks like the best deal but the payment function isn't working on the website. Anyone have a better option. $36.95 for the package was the cheapest I found, plus $6.95 shipping.

Getting into the fuel area was pretty easy and the parts look easy to swap. Hopefully that's my issue.

Find a lawnmower repair in your town. Call them and see if they
stock vacuum fuel pumps. Most riding mowers use a fuel pump.
That cured my wifes 250. While your there, pick up an inline
fuel filter and fresh fuel hose. It's a pretty easy fix. You will
have to drain the fuel tank.

Nice! Thanks bobbyb. I'll check around.
