The car runs with raw fuel squirted into the carb throat. I believe
the fuel
pump is working. Any chance that the mechanical pump becomes worn/weak and
can no longer push past the jet or is it just a case of a sticking or leaking
float? I did try my spare carb, both the old and spare had the same symptoms
which seems a bit odd to me, but before I order a new fuel pump I thought I
would ask the list. Just in case I do order the new pump any suggestions from
whom I should order one?
TIA

List;
I have a schedule with the paint shop on April 5th. I'm looking forward
to
the finishing touches after my accident last year. I attempted to get my spit
running today a bit early for New England but necessary to drive her to the
paint shop. Everything went fine, same as every other year after winter
storage. I always use a little Either to help start and the car fired right up
but wont run on the gas in the tank. Fuel pump is pumping all the way to the
carburetor. Even switched carb to a 76 version I rebuilt over the winter and
it still wont even sputter w/o either.
Any ideas? Could the gasoline in the tank go bad?
I used a stabilizer and the tank was/is nearly full. I am thinking about
draining the tank and trying some fresh gas but I'm not keen on doing this
myself.
TIA
