No, I was driving the car every day. It only sat maybe 3 weeks. I have always had problems starting it after it has sat for a few weeks. I figured that the gas had evaporated out of the carb. Usually after cranking for a wile and a few pumps of the gas peddle it would start. Later on I had to use starting fluid. That would work but it would die as soon as the starting fluid was used up. The more I think about it the problem seems to be that the pump just won't pick up the gas when everything has dried out.

Not home right now. Will check the fuel line for leaks maybe next week. BTW the vacuum leak down test seems to be a good way to check it. I have a couple od vacuum gauges that read up to 50 inches of water.


Thanks.
