Boswell,
I went back and re-looked at all the posts on this subject. So it sputtered and died, like a fuel problem or carb problem.? (1).The line was not plugged. (2).You replaced the fuel pump. (3).And the carb is squirting fuel when you pump it. Re-set points. Timing we are not sure but if in ball park should run. What do the plugs look like now? Are they black, and wet? Or clean and lite color to tan?
Is the truck sitting flat, I'm asking because the gas tank fuel level may be tilted too far one way or another and can't get fuel? The I still think its a fuel delivery problem. Do you have another carb that you know is ok to try? Can anyone come to his aid out there in the west?
