I determined it wasn’t getting any gas. Fuel is getting to the carb from the pump, but there’s nothing coming out of the jets when I pump the throttle linkage. The carb has been on the car for over 10 years. I assume 10 years of gunk, ethanol, varnish and just sitting in the garage has clogged everything up. I’m hesitant to start disassembling the carb if there’s a less intrusive path to take first. (The last time I tried to overhaul a carb was helping a high school buddy with his Plymouth slant 6 and it didn’t end well.) Has anyone had any luck just soaking a whole carb (carb cleaner, acetone, etc.) and then re-installing? Any other tips/tricks? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks much, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Graham Harlowe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>B82001466<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
