If it is a fuel problem, I think the first place to look would be the tank. If it hasn't been cleaned, or has a softened outlet hose on it, it might be restricting fuel to the pump.
Make sure the tank has some means to vent...it needs air as the fuel level drops.

Blow out the fuel lines & check any filters in the pump or carb. Then see if it runs ok. You may have to take the top off the carb. & clean out the bowl. If this inline filter gets clogged up in short time you will have to pull the tank & clean it. If it is rusty inside they can be coated but if a new one is available it is better to replace it.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |

Attach the contain to the fire wall.
Run truck a short distance to see if it cuts out or stalls. If not, you have a line or tank problem | | |
