Hello, Folks!
I have got strange behavior on my '46.
She has a 216 and I've got one of those Sediment Bowl filters in line before the Carter W1 (the filter housing takes the AC GF124 paper filter, but there's a FRAM equivalent in there now). This really hasn't ever been a problem except when I let it sit longer than a week or 2.
Unfortunately, Life happened (got married, had a kid 9 months later), and the truck has been sitting for a year or two.
I've been trying to get the old girl started again. The gas got too skunky to use while she was "resting". I drained out the tank, and replaced the fuel.
I'm noticing that where before, I would be able to fill up the filter bowl and have the fuel stay in there, it's now disappearing very quickly once the starter stops cranking. All of the fuel that was above the bottom of the element seems to disappear right before my very eyes.
I know it's not coming out the "Out" side of the filter, because I took the line off of the carb and watched it.
I'm thinking that there may be something going on the Fuel pump -- maybe a stuck check valve? The pump is the stock pump and was rebuilt about 5 or 6 years ago.
Does anyone have any ideas?
