“Fuel is 6 months old”, corn squeezins or real gas? That could be your issue.ðŸ›
Hi Devilsix,
I am still a newbie here, so please take this with a grain of salt.
So that said, have you checked for rust inside of your fuel lines? IMHO either ethanol fuel or the removal of lead from fuel caused rust inside of the hard lines on my ‘54. You did say “original hard lines” right. My hard lines were causing problems back in the early ‘90’s and every time I took the carburetor apart it was full of rust particles and yes I was running a filter.
And I know it is usually never the carburetor, but if you keep having problems with flooding, you may want to check to see if your float is leaking. If it is, you can easily tell by giving it a good shake.
Good luck,
Phillip
