Ian:
Sounds like you lost fuel flow to the carbs. Pull the fuel line
to the carbs, and direct it into a metal container while you crank the
car. You should get a strong steady flow. If not, your fuel filter or
pump has packed it in.

Subject: [6pack] Carb Problems
Hi all. Hope you guys can help me. Along with a bunch of other stuff
my buddy (he is the mechanic) and I have recently finished rebuilding
the carbs on my 72 TR6. We had the thing running great (maybe a little
rich, but its always been that way since I owned the car) in the garage.
I took it out for a test drive and the car was running great until I got
about a mile away, when it backfired then lost power and died. Since my
fuel guage decides on its own when it wants to work I thought I was out
of gas but that wasnt it. We werent able to get her restarted and had
to have the car towed home.
