Carb not squirting fuel after warmup
59bluesilver:
I checked that, took the hose off the carb and put it in a coffee can. Flowed freely.
motorvation2go:
OK...
Running (driving) observation is next.
Good stuff.
Interested to hear how things go.
von:
That test with hose in the bucket may be misleading. My experience with a clogging fuel tank sock was that it would clog while driving, usually under load like going up a long hill. Then after the engine was shut off for a few minutes the debris that was clogging it would evidently fall off and the engine would run fine for a little while before the clog occurred again. IMO the pressure gauge test while driving is the way to go.

good reply von i had a 53 ford that acted that way. ended up being a piece of electrical tape coming up on the stand pipe when it was under heavy load. ran great under light load fwiw
