My car started to progressivly get worse in the last couple days. Starting with weak acceleration, then to sputters, then to hard starts, then to nothing. I tryed a few things and nothing worked. The larger hose on the carb is pissing out fuel like no other so i dont think its the pump. The small hose, im not sure if its a return line, but no fuel is coming out of that one at all. The carb wont shoot any fuel into the intake at all. I tryed to do it while cranking and if you hit the throddle no fuel comes out of the little injector thingers in primaries. No spray no nothing. I get one or two dropps when i let off the throddle but thats it. SO whats my problem? carb?

either the jets are clogged in the carb or your needle is clogged at the Float In the carb.Try Tapping the Carb around the Float area..if you Know you are Getting Fuel to the Carb,and NOT out of the carb,then it is Likely that the problem Lies Within it.

There are also screen filters around the banjo bolts and if the carb's never been touched, there are screens at the needle/seats. Since you're not getting fuel in either bowl, pull the banjo bolts and check before swapping.

Actually he didn't say anything about the bowls, and nobody asked him either.

So, are the bowls half full like they're supposed to or empty?

empty

OK so did you clean the screen filters or swapped the carbs?
