I figure it's the float any advice appreciated if some other possibilities of the Symptoms The deal Truck run's perfect then classic runs out of fuel will not restart acts as if out of fuel But If I pour a shot glass size of fuel down carb it will start and off I go like all is perfect once more yesterday I drove 80 miles and had to prime carb 5 times when it occurs there is no point being stubborn about it and cranking it Just prime it or let REST a wile I did change fuel filter disconnected fuel pump and wile only did visual seemed to be putting out fuel . Fuel pump is $20 so I'd be willing to just give it a blind try But I figure Float is getting stuck in full position Just don't under stand how priming it would undo that situation Maybe a fuel pump issue ? |

I was able to theorize it was the needle valve jamming up facilitated after float is in full fill the priming and strong forced restart caused the needle valve to reopen I went to Wallmart picked up a bottle of chemtool fuel cleaner for $4 Then theorized lubrication would help so also poured in a full quart of Marvel M Oil on a low Tank , It ran really crappy on the mix But noticed it was not stalling out So I drove it in Crap mode for a 1/2 hour then filled up tank Spark plugs were old so put in a fresh set also I've used truck about 60 miles and seems to be fixed Probably needs a carb rebuild but for now runs well |
