need carb help

Post by theloniousphere » Sat Aug 30, 2008 4:01 pm

My 74 bay wouldn't start today. It will run for a second if I put some gas down the carb (Weber progressive). When I turn the throttle, there is no gas coming from the center tube(s)...usually I can see a drip or flow. I disconnected the fuel hose from the carb and fuel is getting to it. I have read that maybe the jets are clogged? Can someone tell me where these are on the progressive and how to go about cleaning them? Any other possibilities?

You might have just an accelerator pump issue but it's hard to tell from your description... the engine will not stay running at all?

SORRY, I don't have time to narrow it down but I have responded to may "progressive threads" over the years and some have diagrams and links etc etc to help with situations like yours.
If your not up to searching through the already "narrowed down search" then maybe someone with more time this weekend can respond.
