We'll i should know not to leave fuel in the carb for 9 months without running it but apparently i forgot that lesson and did it anyway. well to make a long short, my 63 will start and run for about 10 secs and then quit, the fuelpump pressure is ok and the bowl is filling with fuel but no run. also sprayed starting fluid in carb and kan keep it running that way so i don't think its a spark issue. could the jets have plugged and if so is there a way to clean them?
