Hi all. Been a while since I've been on the forum but I need some help. I have a 1964 3020 gas with Zenith carb. I cannot figure out why no gas is getting to the cylinders. It has always been a bear to start, like it had fuel supply issues but it eventually fired up. Well now, nothing; I removed a new plug and can't even smell gas; its bone dry. BUT, there is fuel in the carb bowl. And I have recently had the carb off and replaced some gaskets and o-rings and jets plus cleaning it up. So what might I have done to it to make it worse than before I cleaned it up? I tried to imagine if it could be something like stuck valves or timing off. But it ran fine (once it started) before and if I had a valve or 2 stuck, I should get some sort of firing or back firing from some cylinder right? I get nothing - no shots at all and like I said plugs bone dry. I also hooked a timing light to the plug wires and get flashing so I know the ignition is working; it's definitely a fuel supply issue. Any thoughts?? thanks, J
