<VV> Norm's Problem With Fuel Starvation

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Norm:  I've learned as much about mother nature in my back yard as I have 
Corvair engineering since my first Corvair.  Casts, squirrels, chipmunks, 
rabbits, mice, mud daubers and ants.  I agree with the suspect being the fuel lines 
in front of the engine.  Do you have a fine brown silt in the carb bronze 
filter area?  If so, then you probably have a rusty gas tank.  The fine rust will 
plug the bronze filters to the point that the car will only idle.  Plugged fuel 
lines, a crimped fuel line where a bodyman bent it to get it out of the way, 
plugged fuel pickup strainer (the same rust in my case) and an exhaust gasket 
leak on the driver's side just below the fuel line have all been causes of my 
fuel delivery problems in the past.  Let us know about your Eureka moment when 
you find the culprit.
