Joe, How old are your fuel lines? They could be blocked or collapsed. If you have access to an air compressor, try blowing air through the fuel lines. The screen in the fuel tank may also be blocked. Check the fuel filter.To test your fuel pump, remove the line that supplies fuel to the carb from the pump, have someone turn the engine over using the key in the ignition. Have them turn it over just enough to see if fuel is being passed through the pump. It is a good idea to have a cup or something similar to catch the fuel expelled from to pump. So you're in Knoxville.. I'm in Kingsport. Do you make it to any of the shows around the area? Nice to have a Type 3er in the area.
