OK learned list, how about some help.
Prior to stalling out, I had trouble accelerating to top speed, it seemed to
be starving. It seemed to run better with less throttle. Towing it at
speed suddenly caused it to start, with a pop, & then ran for a while &
slowly died out.
Now it will not run.
The Fuel pump was rebuilt last driving season & the Carb was rebuilt last
spring. Plugs are new, Points, Condenser & Rotor check out OK.
I tried putting on an inline fuel filter & cut the old in tank fuel filter
off. It now is a straight open gas line out of the tank.
I do not seem to be getting fuel & using the priming lever does not draw any
fuel. I have a hose into a jug off of the fuel pump to carb line, have
cranked it a lot, without fuel flowing.
Should the priming lever draw fuel into the empty gas line in the gas tank
???
NOW: What should I do before I remove the fuel pump & look for a problem
???
As always, any & all help is appreciated.
