Larry Schramm Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 How long has the gas been sitting in it? Could also be a restricted/gummed up carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FordoFilez Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi, Thanks.. The car sat for 9 years and wghen I bought it I removed all the olg gas and replace the gas lines. I also took off the carb and rebuilt it.. The gas tank had some junk in it but all I did was flush it out.. Must have been more rust and junk in the tank that clogged up the carb.. Thanks again..

Guest 25baker&Ts Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 the sweet patato is the thing comming out of the bottom of the gas tank. it has a drain cock at the bottom. the out let on this that heads to the carb has a screen. open the drain cock and use a straight wire and be sure to go all the way into the gas tank. many time the hole leading into it gets debries and restricts the flow. so she will run until this empties and takes time to refill. let me know. i can talk you through on the phone if you want.
