'55 fuel line issues

Posted by onyerleft On 2019/3/17 16:06:31

My '55 Clipper Super with 78K miles has been running great, with new oil pump and various corrosion issues cleaned up.

In the last two months it's begun stalling unpredictably while driving. Previous owner installed an electric fuel pump which has worked well, and when it's stalled I've found I can start the car by turning on the pump for 10 seconds before turning the key to Start.

I thought air might be getting into the fuel line somehow, after the fuel pump but before the carburetor. But it could be contamination in the fuel line, or tank.

Any suggestions appreciated.
