G'day , this is my first posting and probably wont be my last, so if you can point me in the right direction , that would be much appreciated.
my 66 T/Landau is 5/6 completed, engine tidied up, a new stg 3 cam shaft, new lifters , distributor ect ect, ran a little pingy to begin with , adjusted the disy back a little now that seems ok until l can get it down to have the local mechanic tickle it to the correct position and timing, BUT after running the cam in and driving for a week on and off, it now seems to run for about 2 miles, pop and fart then die, my initial thoughts were that the fuel pump has died, but after re directing the fuel lines into a suitable metal container have found that the fuel flow even off the crank is about a pint every 20 seconds, which l think seems good, if it is the carb that is now the problem what will l be looking for first, second.
Removing the top of the carbi shows fuel 3/4 the way up, a little residual dirt (albeit now hardened from time )the floats seem to move freely , draining the fuel from the float chambers see's the floats freely drop, l am at a loss as to know why it has stopped and now wont fire up again , although it shows signs of wanting to ?????
Can you assist.

Cheers David Australia.
