I have spent many an hour and part trying to track down my running issue on<br>
the 60 TR3A. Car starts up fine with cold start. Runs for about a minute<br>
and stalls out. Float bowls are both near empty. Switched fuel pumps and<br>
fuel lines, new clear filter near carb, new needle and seats on both carbs.<br>
Still happens. After it stalls, I can manually prime fuel with handle on<br>
fuel pump and it fills both bowls up with fuel without a problem. Start her<br>
up and runs for a minute until gas gone. Lift off fuel bowl tops and floats<br>
at bottom with no gas. Both float needles are down when I lift off fuel<br>
bowl tops which would allow gas in. I cleaned and checked all fuel lines,<br>
passageways in fuel bowl tops, etc. I have plenty of fuel in the fuel pump<br>
bowl so don't think there is problem getting gas to pump. <br>
<br>
Why is it not allowing gas in the fuel bowls when running? The pump allows<br>
it in when not running? <br>
<br>
Any help greatly appreciated.<br>
