I have had the same problem with my 46 for years, tried another fuel pump, changed carb, nothing worked, I was told by a old ford man
that the fuel evaporates, especialy during warm weather, through
the vent tube inside the carb, so if my car sets longer than 2 or 3
weeks, I refill the bowl through the same tube and it starts fine, I can remember as a young boy my father had a 48 ford and if it sat long
he would have to prime the carb, I would get to start the car as he
poured a little gas in..
