Gas tank gremlin
My car would with no problem, took it on a shakedown run, pulled back in driveway, would not restart. Choke it, it would catch and die, checked fuel flo, not good. So checked filter at carb, ok. Checked cast iron filter, no flow. Thinking RUST and all sorts of horror repairs. Unscrewed shut off, drained off five gallons of gas. Poke screwdriver up thru drain hole, flow picks up then lessens. Something is really bad up there. Tank drained, poke flashlite in filler and found the problem. Remains of an old gasket someone failed to remove. I was p.o'd but relieved.
