yes...the truck has a more modern fuel pump (not the origianl glass bowl one) it has an in line filter just before the carb.

I replaced the filter last year but I don't remember replacign the little hoses that connect the filter to the steel lines.

I'm thinking if these are not true fuel lines or if they are just old they could be disintegrating into the fuel. If I saw little black flecks in the filter then there could be little flecks int he carb fromt he line that comes after the filter.

I will pop the carb off and clean it and replace the rubber lines and see what that gets me.

Too bad the truck is so far away....I miss her already and can't wait to go back this weekend and tool around!
