This morning, it was running fine. I took it out this afternoon, and it started cutting out, then stalled (close to home, thankfully) between gears and left me on the side of the road. It then wouldn't start with the key, but when pushed & bump started, it fired up and limped home as long as my foot was on the gas and it was in gear.
When the accelerator is pushed, I can see gas squirting into the carb. I'm no ace mechanic, but I am thinking this is a fuel problem. My thought was that maybe the fuel filter is clogged - the pump is a couple of years old, it shouldn't be a problem yet, I hope. My air filter is new, and the ignition (one of those HEI modules that fits inside the dist. cap) is a couple of months old and has a couple of hundred miles on it and has been working great, so I don't think that's the problem.
Can anyone help me?
thanks
