Paul, you should be able to use the lever on the fuel pump to check flow,
assuming you have the correct pump. I would disconnect the output from the
pump and put it into a suitable container, then pump away. You should see a
steady stream of fuel (less than 5 lbs if you have a fuel pressure gauge).
If so, then I have heard from many listers that crud can build up in the
carb float bowls, and I suspect this may be no different for Webers. If
not, you should probably disconnect the fuel line before the filter
(assuming that the open line is lower than the fuel level in the tank, which
should be the case if you open the line near the chassis) and check to see
that gas runs out freely, and thereby rule out that the fuel line/fuel
filter isnt clogged. If it does, then it sounds like the fuel pump is the
culprit.

1.) Is the lack of fuel in the filter indicative of a clogged fuel line
or a fuel pump on it's way out? Or, is this the normal state of fuel
flow on a TR6?
2.) Am I barking up the wrong tree? Could it be ignition? I did get a
strong blue spark when checking it. But, the car came with a Lumenition
electronic ignition. The coil is about 1 year old, also the plug wires.
It's worked flawlessly since I got the car 2 years ago, But, would this
be indicative of an impending failure in the Lumention unit?
3.) the car also came with the Weber DGV conversion. It's been working
good all along, nothing is leaking. But I've never had these carbs on a
car before. Anyone running this setup have problem like this?
