Ya doan need an expensive high pressure FI filter for a carb......them cheap clear re-useable carb type ones are OK.....you can see the crap it's catching.

Well duh, pull the freaking carb, resist impulse to toss it in the path of Rita....pull the top off, blow out the bowl, pull the jets and ream them clear with a jet reamer, reassemble, WITH a CLEAR, reusable fuel filter and fire it up.....keep an extinguisher handy.
BTW....hope ya have AAA...if ya don't yer not thinking.

freakin listen man.
a boiled tank aint gonna help if you arent using fuel filters... that crap is still in your lines....
take the carb apart.... use 2 filters. one before pump, one before carb.
BTW - WHAT FUEL PUMP ARE YOU USING??

I saw that ..was just clarifying aarons's statement....even thought the Honduh was carbed....do you know what the PSI is at the output?

listen guys, I *KNOW* this is what is goign on...i need to get my tank out and boiled....
i'm getting it towed today.
kevin: nobody said anything, I am the guinea pig. doesnt work.
well aaron, it is internally regulated...it *is* pumping gas, but on the side of the interstate i was unable to check the pressure. An inline pressure guage should do the trick though.
Z, if it was pumping too much(more than the recommended 3.5PSI), wouldn't it run way rich? It did run fine at the beginning till i would say....months after. Just started this problem like three weeks ago.
the pump Does struggle sometimes to deliver gas....so the boiling out procedure shoudl help things quite a bit. That and maybe a new facet pump.
That being said, I will post pictures of the progress.

Oh...
As far as draining the tank, that's the way I'd do it. A filter upstream of the pump wouldn't be a bad idea just to limit the amount of crap getting into it........can these little cars be a hassle, or what!

everything so far has a solution...the pain is when it doesnt have a solution....
