  4. Thanks guys, yesterday I decided to pull the feed tube in the tank and clean it out. It wasn't stopped up but once I returned it and hit the fuel pump, the carb bowl filled up instantly.  Prior to that it was spitting and gurgling into the carb, never really filling beyond an inch or so,  but now the pump is filling smoothly and fast- so maybe a chunk of gunk or something was blocking the intake of fuel. So, I resealed the uptake tube in the tank and will test again today. I may need a regulator for the fuel but at least some movement was happening in the fuel line.

  5. I contacted Tom and even bought a new metering pin off of him, new gaskets and all. My car idles well but put her under load and she bucks and stalls- no gas to power it. I think the internal piston is not moving under vacuum to power the car.  That's my guess because even fully "choked" or with the metering needle pulled wide open, I can't get the car to run under load. it hesitates, pops and bucks. But take it out of gear and she idles beautifully. It has a fuel pump so that's not the issue. 

  6. Resolved: my metering pin broke free from the carb being sticky and varnished from sitting for years. I peened and soldered the brass washer and metering pin back together and rebuilt the carburetor and the car fired right up again. So, the weak spot of the Stewart Detriot Lubricator is that somewhat delicate metering pin; once the connection weakens it will separate washer from post and then the car won't start.  

     

    Thanks to all who helped and to Myers Early Dodge for an extra metering pin in better shape than my existing one.

  7. My 1920, which I recently got, runs great with gas directly into the cylinders. But I can't seem to draw gas from the carb. I have fuel up to the float bowl and that's as far as I can get; I removed the carb and no gas residue drawing into the engine/

     

    I am stumped- when I crank it manually I can hear a hissing sound from a valve inside but is that enough to prevent a start and drawing gas? But as I said, it runs smoothly and nicely once I get gas directly to the cylinders.

     

    Stumped,

    Jim
