Re: Eliminate draft tube options

In that case I would fill the float bowl from either cranking the engine or filling through the bowl vent. Then check accel pump operation with a full bowl of fuel. No squirt means the pump isn't working so fix that first, and do other checks for vac leak etc, then try it again. Like previous posts are saying, if the old car doesn't get driven regularly then the eather accel pump cup can shrink down and bypass fuel rather than pump fuel.
If it starts and runs ok with choke, till it warms up so choke can eventually be taken off, then that's normal.
