hmmm..its an aftermarket edelbrock carb..so theres no other filter than the glass inline one. the gas is definately pumping because i removed the fuel line before the carb and crank it and i can see fuel pumping into the bucket i put there. when i cleaned out the fuel filter there was definately a bad gas smell..smelled weak...although after cranking it with the pedal pressed for awhile..what would normally flood the engine and smell of gas doesnt seem to be happening..so im wandering if the float is stuck. im going to try to tap on it and see if that helps any...i really hate to pull the carb and have to clean it out. will shooting it all up with carb cleaner while its on the car help? the car is way out in my backyard away from my tools...im trying to get it back up to the driveway where i can get it going again for the summer.
