How to Deal with a Carburetor Not Getting Fuel?

[DelLorenzo]

First, thoroughly clean the carburetor and check whether the float and float needle can open and close normally. Inspect if the carburetor vent pipe is blocked or stuck, making it difficult for gasoline to flow into the carburetor. Also, check for any blockages in the gasoline filter, fuel tank switch, or other components that may cause slow fuel delivery.

I've dealt with carburetor fuel delivery issues before, and it's mostly caused by fuel line blockages – things like aging fuel hoses or clogged filters preventing fuel from reaching the engine, leaving the car unable to start. My approach is to start checking from the fuel tank, ensuring there's sufficient gasoline, then follow the fuel line to inspect for kinks or damage. I'd use a small wrench to loosen connections and check fuel flow. If blocked, I'd personally clean the filter and carburetor float chamber with gasoline – it's pretty straightforward. If that doesn't work, then it's time to visit a professional shop for part replacements. This isn't something to rush – engine smoke would be disastrous. Using higher-quality gasoline regularly can prevent clogs and save you a heap of trouble.
