SILVER Star
Rochester 2 barrel that came on the truck and ran fine before the headgasket.
Truck has been down about 15 months.
Got it running, carburetor worked.
A week or so goes by, won’t start-no fuel getting through the carburetor.
New fuel filter
New fuel pump
New rubber lines from filter to pump and hard line to carburetor.
Pulled the line at the carburetor and pumped fuel into a glass jar.
Still no fuel through the carburetor.
I’m guessing there’s sediment blocking the jets?
The glass filter housing only gets 1/2 full. Could there be air getting in and messing something up, even though I’m getting fuel at the carburetor?
If I need to rebuild this one, I’d rather find a stock rebuilt one instead (1969 fj40).
