List,
Picked up a daily driver from a good friend, it needs a little TLC but
should be a good runner for my commute.

68 1600 stock, has been sitting for sometime (6 months) but has been started
and ran fine 5-6 times during storage.
New symptom:
Starter cranks hard but no fuel is being delivered from the tank to the fuel
filter, it dry as a bone.

PO said that this had happened once before and he install new stock fuel
pump thinking that this was the issue. Solved the problem but it has
reoccurred. Had it towed and now is in my garage awaiting post Solvang
"surgery". Tow driver thought that the float valve/valves may be stuck
closed causing the system to fail.

TIA!
Matt
