Ok...... so I'm a dumbass.
And all that talk about how reliable my teener has been over the past 2 years, has finally caught up with me. Bad Karma perhaps? Anyway.... about a week ago, I was out driving the teener pretty late, and I ran the gas EXTREMELY low. I know I shouldn't have.. but I did. A couple days later, I pulled it out of the garage on my lunchbreak, started it up, and went back inside to let it warm up. Came back out, and the car was stopped...... and wouldn't restart. I figured I ran out of gas, but that afternoon, I put a couple gallons in it (enough to bring it to 1/4 tank)..... but it still won't start. I'll pump and pump and pump and pump and pump the gas pedal, but it still won't start. (I have dual Solex Carbs) You'd THINK that I would have a foul gas smell, gas coming out the tailpipe, etc... but nope... nothing at all. I hear the fuel pump working..... which leads me to believe there is a fuel blockage somewhere. Perhaps something as easy as a clogged filter??? The simple fact of the matter is that I've done almost no friggin work on this car at all in 2 years... so I have no idea where to start looking. I'm going to peek in there tonight, change out the filter, and make sure there's no obvious clogs in the engine compartment... hopefully I'll find something. MY QUESTION IS: If I don't find anything........ where's the next place to start looking?? Thanks in advance for the help.. Matt |

The one on the right looks like David Letterman's illegitimate daughter.
