1971 ford f100 360

Asked by Greem Mar 26, 2016 at 11:00 AM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

This truck starts and runs great . . . For
about 1-2 miles and dies. Then no fuel,
there is fuel in the clear glass filter a few
inches before the carb. When you push the
throttle no gas squirts in the carb. But u
put a little gas down the carb it fires right
up. . . Any ideas I've replaced and tried a
lot of things. I'm in a cool climate,
Colorado. So don't see vapor lock an
issue. The metal fuel line is kinda close to
the manifold . . I'm gonna re route that
next. Any help would be thankful

Even if I leave the gas cap off and still does it could that still be the issue?

The tank was said to be scoped and clean but not sure I trust the seller anymore. And the electric pump is left side of cab about 8 inches from the tank. I thought about pulling the tank also . Should I even have the electric one on it? Should I pull the tank next?

If I pull that out will I be able to tell if crud is in there, or see in the tank?
