Cars are cool like this -
I finally make up my mind to get new springs all around for this car but then it becomes haunted.
Was driving in the city the other day until it just conked out on my when the clutch was in (changing to third)
Then it wouldn't start but would turn over... My fuel gauge said i had a 1/4 of a tank but the glass section on the carby said zero fuel.
My fuel pump, filter and everything else was fine, not clogged or whatnot.
After 10 heroic passing people solved all the 'maybe' problems with my car, i rang the RAA.
He got there and told me i was out of fuel.. which i still disagree with.
We got it started and i almost drove home.. got within 5 mins and it started conking out again...
Could it be something to do with the float in the carb?
