Looking for any additional insight into possible things gone wrong.
Let me first start with the fact that I did not build the car and the builder/owner are not available for insight. * two weeks ago, the green monster ran great no issues to local cars and coffee. * yesterday morning was unable to start and based on evidence, issue is lack of fuel to carburetors. Further investigation has evidence that I have no fuel at my 45s fuel pump nor before and after the Mallory fuel filter ahead of the pump. I had over 7 gallons of fuel in the tank so I am completely baffled as to how I would get no fuel on the inlet to fuel filter that I believe is direct gravity fed from stock fuel tank. It looks like I need to pull the fuel tank to unstained what is going on. Let me know if I should check anything else??? Thanks |

It *could* be debris clogging a stock tank - odd that it ran well a short time ago though. Debris in 914 tanks is a fairly common issue. Where is the fuel filter mounted (or hanging)?
Also, the tank is vented, correct? Tony |
