My carb is starving for fuel?
I have a 1972 Ford F 100. I have been having few issues I replaced the mechanical fuel pump along with the fuel lines and the problem remains. If I drive short distances or not very fast then I can drive fine. Its when I really put my foot into it or drive very far I have the problem what happens is it starving for fuel so much so that it stutters and dies. I have a glass in line filter so I can see if there's gas getting to the front end of the motor or not, and after it dies I look under my hood and the glass fuel filter is empty. But if I leave my fuel pump on it will replenish and I can start it up again… Does anybody have any ideas what is wrong? Any help would be much appreciated
How is the rubber line between hard line from tank to pump inlet? Had a Belvedere once, that line was old and soft, I'd stomp the throttle and pump vacuum would suck it shut.Drove me NUTS figuring that out.
Check the float in your carburetor.
You might try to disconnect the input side of your fuel filter and shoot some compressed air back through the line to the tank. Might be some garbage clogging it up.
- When i go to start my boat it shoots gas back up carb, it is 2300 holly? Just finished valve job, carb overhaul and gas still shoots out the carb.1996 302 ford motor, withholly 2 barrel carb. Keeps fouling the spark plugs from all the gas. What might cause that are where else should I be looking.
- Location of 1998 Ford Taurus fuel pump. Does it have a fuel cut-off switch? Car shut down suddenyl without warning. New battery and cranks but will not start. Suspect bad fuel filter, 130K miles and fuel filter has never been replaced.
- My 1999 ford ranger has 20 lbs of pressure on the fuel line. Do i need a fuel pump? After I tested the pressure and shut the motor off the pressure went down to 0 quick. When I just turn the key I don't get any pressure
- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
