I'm like that too Wayne!!
You need a big ol' angry woman for a wife that can kick yu backside every time you get a dose of the lazies!!! :evil: :twisted: :!:

Sounds like either blocked fuel filter (water?) or the Governor is on strike?
Any smoke? What colour?
Throttle linkage has fallen off?
Any prize for correct answer? ;) :lol: 8-)

1st guess? .... let the handbrake off?

Just spent days trying to get my earthmover going, after the fuel tank became completely clogged up with crap, it's a very old massey ferguson. Had to go through the entire fuel system to get it going and that took days, finally got it going today just before a huge thunderstorm. The throw away filter I use for to pick up any bits in the veggie oil was faulty which was the first problem, that let air into the entire system and with those old machines they are complicated fuel systems compared to today.

Wayne, I'd start with the fuel lines and work your way through to the pump, if you have adequate fuel going through, then clean the pump. As Bruce said, it's more than likely a filter semi blocked and restricting flow, had that problem with a couple of cheap filters, they worked for a while then tend to collapse at some points and that really slows the fuel supply.

New filters will be shiny clean. How far has it been driven since last month?

Are we talking about your motorhome or something else?
