Wouldn't you know, the day i register here is the day i have a problem. Basically, i ut the car in storage for the winter, and moved it in April to a new location. This weekend was the first good weekend to take the car out of the bat-cave, and it won't start.
Everything sounds fine - and it ran in april no problem - but it just won't "catch".
So, I have three questions to ask of you:
1. Should, when I'm starting the car, I hear the clicking of the fuel pump? I am currently not and am fearful that no fuel is getting to the engine. (there is no smell of gas, even after countless attempts)
2. Would a plugged gas filter have anything to do with the pump not working?? (meaning, is there a pressure sensor that inhibits the pump from performing if it encounters, for example, a plugged filter?)
3. How full should the carbs be? I had them filled early last summer, and i don't drive it that frequently - so is there any chance that the carbs may be causing me grief?
Thanks a billion for you time.
It often goes unsaid, but without a forum like this, there's no telling what kind of trouble some people would be in. Thank you.
Have a pint on me!
