Hey guys
For Christmas I got the 22gallon tank conversion from MustangsUnlimited or CJPonyParts, can't remember which. For my '67 Mustang with a Carter YFA 1bbl.
Got it painted, sealed, prepped, and installed. Loaded 5 gallons of ethanol free gas into it in order to pop her off so I could drive down and top the tank off.
Primed the carb bowl as I had noticed while messing with the jets last time that the pump doesn't like to pump without having something to push against.
Fire her up, she runs for a minute or so on the warm-up circuit with the choke closed, then sputters and dies.
As I mentioned in the title, the pump was last changed when I was in high school. I know it was before ethanol was ever added to fuel widespread, so it is easily possible the rubber is toast.
Would rather get a checklist to troubleshoot before I just start swapping parts, though.
