have you checked fuel pressure at the carb? Inspected the inlet screen in the carb? Checked the float level?

I checked the inlet screen its fine, but then I checked the fuel pressure it would be a stream then there would be air bubbles. I noticed there are air bubbles in the fuel filter too.I'm Going to check the fuel lines from the fuel pump again or just replace them. where do you think the air bubbles would be coming from? fuel pump or the lines? thanks for your help..

MARK your the man!!!!! Its was the small connector line in the back. I looked back there a couple days ago and only looked at the long return line ( I think that's what it is)it looks like it has been replace i didn't see the small one :oops: The small line in the back looked like it was 30 yrs old...I've only drove it a little but I'm almost sure it's fixed because it was stalling all the time the last few days.
Thanks, I'll see you guys Sunday,
