Long story short, I've had the rear wheels on ramps for about a week doing some work under the car. I started her up last night and she ran fine for a minute or two then died. I realized then that I was pretty low on gas and with the rear of the car raised, I think I may now have air in the fuel lines. Lowered it down.
It cranks, but wont start and the carbs are dry. I opened the tops of them and looked down to see a couple (1-2) drops of fuel come out while the wife turned her over. I cranked it for awhile and nothing. Is there something I should do to prime these things or bleed the fuel lines in this situation? |
