Hoping for a little input in regards to a fuel issue I am having. I have had the GMC for many years but it had been sitting for a few years and I am back at it. I have a 1976 palm beach with a mechanical and inline electric pump. I drained the fuel tanks and put in 10 gallons of new gas. I was not able to get it started as it appears the rear tank fills first and I do not believe the tank selector valve is working. I bypassed the selector valve with the rear tank line directly to the engine. I was able to get it to run for about a half hour and then turned off as usual. Today went back and it started up but then dies. I disconnected the fuel line at the carb and no fuel???? Is there something in the tank that could be sticking that causes it to run and then cut off the fuel supply?? I really appreciate any input/ assistance.
