Mark:
Your fuel pump feeds gas from the tank to the carb, not gravity. I would
simply pinch off the hose between the pump and the tank, disconnect the hose
from the pump and install another fuel hose from the pump to any convenient
container (filled with fresh fuel) sitting on the floor. Obviously you can't
test drive it, but it sounds like you are having a general problem (as
opposed to an acceleration problem).

Anyone have an idea on what I might use to feed my carb fuel, by-passing
the
fuel tank (using gravity)? I'm trying to determine if I have a tank of bad
gas and would rather not empty the tank if I don't have to. I've thought of
hanging a hospital IV bag, but not sure if the plastic is fuel proof. Can
anyone think of a common vessel that I might use without getting into
constructing something. Or, is there another way of testing? I'd really
like to do it by gravity.
Thanks in advance. Mark L.
