Default Re: No gas getting to carburetor

two things likely. First, have you checked the under-cab fuel filter? It looks like a coke can under the passenger side of the truck. If so, it may need priming.

I just had a conversation with another member about this. When mine went out, I had to prime the fuel pump. It took a while. I hooked up a rubber hose below the pump and stuck a funnel in that. The total had to be above the gas tank's level. Then i poured gas in the funnel and let it clear out the air between the tank and the pump.
Once it was cleared and running back to the tank, plug the hose back in the fuel pump and bob's your uncle. May have had to prime ahead of the pump too once I got it back together, but I can't remember.

Never had to do this with another car or truck, but for some reason it was necessary on mine.
