My 1966 2000 was losing power so I decided to clean or
replace all fuel filters. The one in the fuel tank and the carb
were pretty clean but the fuel pump filter was plugged almost
completely. I opted to replace the fuel pump instead of
rebuild. I also took off the carb and soaked it in carb cleaner
for a few days as it was kind of cruddy. Put it back together
and it won"t start (it was running fine before I took it apart). It is
getting a good spark and seems to be getting gas. It fires
briefly with a shot of starting fluid but won"t run.
So I am wondering if there is a step I missed?
Does the float chamber need to be primed? Looks like there is
a drain plug at the bottom.
There is only one needle valve ( which I never touched). Is
there a standard or beginning setting?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
