How is the fuel pump? Check it’s
capacity. Probably worn out. Another area to check is any rubber
lines on suction side of fuel pump. They can look good on the outside, and be
collapsing internally. Bob From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On
Behalf Of Mad4cars@xxxxxxx Ok heres the history .. bought a car from
club member that hadnt been used in tens years. Got a rebuilt carb on it
and had to get a used gas tank original was leaking( the mechanic threw the
other in the woods? Where's the EPA) .. I drove it one hour back to Ny in a
horrible rain storm,remember? No trouble. Then I had my local mechanic who
knows and has old cars work on it. Now its been in and out of the shop
three times.. as it dies out (starves for gas ?) going up a steep hill. This
last time it wouldn't start again >no gas coming thru. We have blown out the
lines,new fuel cap, got a new fuel pump, adjusted rebuilt carb, worked on
the choke.. changed fuel filter. Im not sure what else to do.. This
week Im having the tank cleaned out and lines reblown and look inside carb..
Any great wisdom here.. I love driving her when shes not acting up. So when I drove her on flat land..
she was fine. As soon as I tried to go up a steep Hill disaster then she
acts up even if land is level.. Help, Help... |
