<VV> fuel problem

[J R Read_HML]

Sounds like junk in the fuel and it has made it to the carb.  Temporary
"roadside" fix.  Remove air cleaner, rev engine and cup hand over offending
carb RPMS up.  You WILL get some gas on your hand.  Do this 3 -4 times.
Check to see if it running on all 6 yet.  If not, redo.

Permanent solution, clean entire fuel system.  You could start by replacing
the hoses at the tank and at the firewall.  They could be disintegrating.
That MIGHT solve the problem.  If not, you will probably need to clean the
tank.
