Hi guys, I need some help diagnosing a problem I'm having with my '71. It has a 2F. I've owned it for about 6 months during which time I've been busy fixing electrical issues, steering issues, minor body work, and fuel delivery issues. I've put in a new tank, rubber fuel lines, filters, and pump. I've also blown out the hard lines and fuel pickup.
Since I've owned it there has been this problem where it hesitates, sometimes just for a second, other times I think it's about to stall and it catches back on. Well today it didn't catch back on, and I couldn't get it restarted. Just cranked over but wouldn't fire up. When it stalled out, I checked the fuel filter just before the carb and it was empty. I'm pretty certain that there is nothing wrong between the tank and the carb.
So I had it towed and of course once it was in my garage it fired right up!
Anyone have an idea? Can an issue with the carb keep the fuel from flowing?
I don't want to be afraid to drive my 40!
