“Did you observe squirt after it dies”, yes a fine mist. From what I’ve read the Stromberg has a circuit that comes into play as the engine starts to keep the gas flowing. May have gotten accidentally plugged during the rebuild. BTW the engine ran, although with a bit of hesitation, and the vehicle had several miles on it prior to the carb being removed for rebuild. I will rig a temporary tank tomorrow and complete Jerry’s other pump tests. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
