My Road Runner sat for many years and we finally got it up and running again. It had a few good test runs but the latest test run had the car stuttering to a stop and engine shut down. Looks like it is lack of fuel getting to
the engine. We filled up the fuel tank with about 5 gallons of gas and have not even driven it more than 2 miles so I know it is not out of gas. I even looked in the tank with a flashlight and can see gas.
The fuel filter has some fuel in it but does not appear to be very "active" or bubbly. We pulled the fuel filter and found some debris in it probably from the gas tank sitting. Do you think this problem will keep happening or will I need to completely remove the gas tank and pay someone to overhaul it? Any other thoughts?
This is a photo of what came out of the fuel filter that we have hooked in line next to the carburetor:
Thanks in advance!
