[8v] fuel help needed (metering valve?)

[julie at menloparkrandd.com (julie@menloparkrandd.com)]

Do you hear the fuel pumps? Jumper the relay and try again.
My guess is either the relay or the pumps as the meter is very dependable. 
I only ever once had the metering shaft stick once. A can of carb cleaner later I was on my way home.
