Not running
Here is the problem I had the truck painted, when I went to go pick it up it ran great. Pulled it into the trailer idled real well. Trailered it 150 miles get it home now it wont idle. Let it sit a couple of months and did a tune up. plugs,wires, cap and rotor. I even replace the coil with a accel super coil. Now it wont start. I can prime it with gas in the carb and it will run that out and die only at high RPM's. I tried to bypass the fuel filter still same problem. HELP. 350 CID Edelbrock 600 carb electric choke.

Re: Not running
If it only runs on the gas you poured down the carb then it sounds like it might have a sticking needle & seat valve in the carb itself.
Just a thought.

Re: Not running
Check your fuel pump.

Re: Not running
your problem is obviously on the fuel delivery side.
Check for fuel in the tank, clogged filter, rust sediment in the bowls of the carb, stuck floats, sticking needle valve in the carb, clogged fuel line/screen... |

Re: Not running
Thanks for all your input! I agree that it is a fuel problem. Tomorrow morning I will attack the fuel side, and see if I cant get this thing running. I will keep you all posted once again thank you!!!
