Steve, oncea year I disconnect my gas line and blast it with an air hose to
push all the muck back into the tank. Works for me.

Good Morning!
This past weekend, I anxiously put the manifolds and carbs back on my
'76 TR6 after sandblasting and repainting the parts; making them like
new. I installed a new air manifold (the old one was less than
useless, at best). Hoses and spark plugs were also replaced. I
thought with all these improvements, my TR HAS to run better, right?
WRONG, and thanks for playing! :o( Now it's not getting enough fuel.
I have a clear fuel filter before the carbs which is visibly not
getting enough fuel to fill the filter half way. It won't turn over
and just runs the battery down.
I have a new fuel pump on order (good idea to replace anyway), along
with new points and condenser. Does anyone recommend something I
might be overlooking?? In the past, it has run only after
considerable efforts to start it.
In advance, I appreciate your assistance.
Frustrated...
