Ok, once again my truck runs--through no fault of mine.
After stalling out on me yesterday, it decided, after lots of cranking, to fire up this morning.
I thought maybe it was the fuel pump, so I disconnected the fuel filter and cranked it a few times and it spurted gas intermittently (that's how a mech. fuel pump should act, right?)
I disconnected the fiel line from the carb and nothing ran out... so I thought maybe it was clogged, but air passed through both ways--wide open--no problem. But it was bone dry. Shouldn't it have had gas in the line? Or would that flow back down into the filter? Could it be a problem in the carb--not keeping fuel in the bowl, then it sucks it dry & stalls?
Anyway after a lot of cranking to get the fuel up the line to the carb, it fired up and ran fine for the short trip to work.
HELP--- I'm bum-fuzzled.
