Our spare machine was being used yesterday, started up fine, ran all day, and the lads run out of fuel on last job.

Got a large cladding clean to do this weekend, so checking it out today to ensure its ok, and it just wont fire up.

Tried every combination of choke/throttle possible, and it wants to go at some points, revs up and just dies out.

Any ideas?

i'd also clean out air filter as it may have got   filthy  from last job you done.

No mate, shut the fuel off so no fuel can get through. Their is a 10mil nut at the bottom of the carb....undo it and take the float bowl off the bottom and see if their is any c**p in that. If their is then more than likely that one of the jets in the carb is blocked. Turn the fuel on when the float bowl is off and see if you get fuel coming through....then lift the float up and see if the fuel stops. The carb would need to be taken off if it still doesn't work and cleaned properly

No more time can be afforded on that thing today!

Is it not the same as a normal engine and need bleeding if you ran out of fuel?(diesal)

Petrol.

Got a loan of a diesel machine as back up now, so will get it looked at next week.
