Reply to "Fuel Sender Issue?"

Wow, I was wrestling with this same problem all last week. I put the car away last fall because it ran like crap. Tried to start it when the weather turned better and it won't go. I disconnected everything, even the fuel pump which had only 5 hours on it. Still had no fuel to the carb. So I replaced the fuel pump and filter yesterday. Tried starting it up and got nothing, no fuel. I disconnected the carb supply and cranked the engine over a minute and finally gas came out of the hose. Hooked it up and ran like a champ, first time since October. As wierd as it seemed, I guess I had an "air lock" in the line and had to bleed it. Good news - it runs. Bad news - I don't know why the fuel line went dry.
