List,
I went to start up my TR250 today, it started and idled rough and I parked
it out in my driveway.  Once it was outside, it started to pour and of
course I couldn't  start it again.   I have been smelling gas for the last
week when the car is in the garage.  Engine is stock.   I swapped the usual
electrical suspects ( rotor, cap, points look ok)  and I can crank forever
and the engine won't catch.  Carbs professionally rebuilt two years ago.
 
We drove home from Maine two weeks ago in a deluge, and I haven't started
the car since then.  
 
Is there way to test the fuel pump?  Disconnect the feed to the carbs and
measure the flow rate?   How much fuel flow  should I expect with some
vigorous engine cranking?  Other possible issues? 
 
Thanks in advance for those who have been there ahead of me,
 
Steve Lindquist
68 TR250 CD231L
