I figure something may be blocked. For reasons beyond my control the car received almost no use for a couple years. When started occasionally it ran fine until this month. I siphoned out the old fuel and refilled with new gas plus some dry gas to be sure. I blew out the fuel line, replaced the fuel filter, and removed the carbs and cleaned the jets, etc. The one thing I didn’t remove is the float bowl cover because it was stuck and I didn’t want to ruin the gaskets unless I had replacements in hand.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The engine has only a few thousand miles on a complete rebuild. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks / Dan<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">’68 Solex 2000<o:p></o:p></p></div></body>
