Fuel tap on s3a
Hi all, has anyone ever had any problems with new fuel taps not flowing properly, I bought a newly restored s3a, and fuel only flows from one outlet and dribbles from the other two, I’ve stripped it and it’s spotless inside, even with the filler cap open it does the same

There's probably nothing wrong with it, if all three are open fuel will piss out of the easiest route, put yer finger over that one..

Many thanks for the advice, I put my finger over the pipe that was flowing fuel, and it came out of another, so you’re right , cheers
