Today i picked up my car from my local mechanic .He did alot of things to insure a trouble free summer of fun.Well on the way home it stopped running .The gas filter slowley fills up you try to start it,the gas filter emties quickley it does not start then you start the process starts over
Well Greg I have not a clue but because I am new at this, if you just got it back from the shop I’d make sure they fixed the problem and let you know what the problem was. Possible they caused the problem when they serviced it etc. They should make it right I’d think.
Possible stuck carb float needle valve or by any chance did you change the fuel pump? Disconnect the coil and the fuel lie at the carb. Have an assistant crank the engine while you catch the fuel coming out of the pump in a catch can. At 3 1/2 to 5 psi the fuel should flow out of the pump rather than a trickle. If it trickles out then I’d replace the pump. If it flows out well, then theck the float needle valve. My 02 cents worth.

Greg ,,if your car is/ was like mine do the filters again also the one in the carb. if crud passes through the filter and gets in the carb. it can do just what you describe . Dan
Had this same problem. Gas line was full of crappie before you play with floats or cards disconnect line on front side of filter and see if gas runs there’s a couple fixes for this.
