OK, well I found out why no more fuel was finding it's way to the fuel pump, through the filter, and into the carburetor. The brand new fuel pump failed. The metal pin that the fulcrum pivots on "fell out"? I've never seen that one before LOL! Noticed the pin laying on top of the crankcase as I was pulling the pump off the engine. My first reaction was to laugh but at least now I know there's no clog in the fuel lines. I was getting rust and debris in the fuel filter so I'm glad that I'm going through the fuel system and restoring it to like new shape. I dropped the fuel tank off at Sim's yesterday to be dipped in that vat, and sealed. Should have it back in a few days good as new. In the meantime I'm getting my shopping list together of all the new parts I'll need to order. Should have my fuel pump replacement by Monday.
Good catch and glad you caught it before it caused some serious trouble!
