So I am driving along and I smell fuel a really strong smell. I stopped and popped the hood and gas was pouring out of the carburetor so I shut it off and got the fire extinguisher out of the trunk just in case. Anyhow after letting what had spilled evaporate off I took the top off the carburetor expecting to find a stuck float or crud in the seat. What I found was all the rust from the gas tank was in the fuel bowl and what could not get past the needle was stuck in the supply pipe. The new filter I put on a month earlier had failed and all the junk it had trapped was now in the carburetor. So some cleaning and a bit of walking to the parts store to get a filter and I got it going and got it home. Guess I need to take the accelerator pump off and clean it out now.
