OK....my two cents...dad had the same problem with a Chevy truck V-6....the PO has lost the gas cap and a rag had fallen in the tank and caused the same condition...man they changed everything! But in the end it was the rag in the gas tank. Even the old mechanic what worked on the truck installed an electric fuel pump to get around the problem. Not your problem I'm sure but just to point out how frustrating it can be. Once you get her fixed it will be a good thing for all of us to find out what had happen! Keep the faith!

PS... from my 81 yr old uncle...nothing wrong with the Rochester B millions of them made and still running. Most of the trouble is with the owners that fuss with them and they don't have a clue! Get rid of the heavy oil bath air cleaner if its on the Rochester. UNK
