Hmmmm...couple new things to think about. I have not checked the float level. I did not want to take the new (to me) Carter apart because I don't have a kit for it.
It will run indefinitely while sitting parked and revs just fine when given gas.
This is the second fuel pump I have had on it in a year, but that doesn't mean it's good. In fact, the first one I got from Auto Zone failed completely and the second seemed to work. I reworked the fuel lines last weekend, but don't think I got anything in the new lines. Why would it start right back up again, though? I am sure there's a reason, but I am a novice at diagnosis.
The alternator is brand new. Should have noted that on the first post.
All that said, should I get a new pump to rule that out? Or should I be reworking the points and condenser? My dizzy does have an issue in that the insulator that the coil connects to is long gone and the PO replaced it with a piece of bathtub stopper. I will look at the screw and arm in there and confirm it's not come loose. A dizzy is one of the things that's on my winter junkyard tour "must-have" list...
Thoughts?
