Carb Problem = fuel system failure

[GIBEYERSON]

I found out what has been driving me crazy! My tank is not venting properly. Fuel in the filter can't get to the carb because the system is vapor locked. I had the tank down three times and the carb off or apart more than I can count.

I hope this info helps someone else.

You didn't explain why your tank was not venting properly nor what you did to fix it. So you havn't helped anyone.

If someone would have told me to check for the possibility of a vapor lock sooner I would have gone through less trouble.

The temporay fix was real hard I just leave the cap loose. The vent / emmission tubing sankes around under the rear of the car and then goes to the engine compartment. My car sat for 6 years so I bet it rusted solid someplace.
