Default Pull the Carb

timsullivan Rick Parker beat me to the issue. No fuel in the second bowl. Pull the carb off the motor. DON'T TIP IT. Get on flat surface and pull the plug for the second fuel bowl level sight hole. Do you have gas leaking out? If yes, we are going to drain the carb and pull the second side tank and start checking for the problem. If no gas is in the tank we have a clogged tube or port to supply it. Again need to drain the carb and pull it apart and check. You may want to get a set of bowl gaskets before you start this. Papaer are ok but the Green ones are better with the methonal in the gas now. You also need to check the fuel filter for ANY little black spec's. If the car has any fuel line in rubber this could also be partially the failure and messing up the carb. You may have to replace the fuel lines and go with SS lines. After we find the issue with the carb, drop down to the spring in the middle for the secondarys to open up. We need to test 1 part at a time until with find out what makes the motor happy. Take your time with the carb, couple large cans of cleaner, a quiet place in your man cave with the door locked to work on this. If you need some help call in the evening 732-254-3536 I am 3 hours ahead of you. Rick L.
