Re: Old gas tank 54 Clipper

I hope that needing another cleaning isn't the problem. With all new line and a filter before the carb, I am getting no(or almost none) gas in the new filter.

When I started the car after installing the tank and new line with the old filter in place, I could see fuel sloshing into the filter housing and the car would stall after a few minutes unless I pushed the accelerator. Changed to a new filter and now the car will not start at all. I shot some fast start into the carb and still no start. I am checking the plugs for spark, but I am concerned that there is a problem witht the new tank.
Question? Can the pickup tube in the tank move at all? When I install the flare fitting is went on very tight and I was concerned at that time about the pick up tube.

Help!
