Is this a steel or plastic gas tank? Running dry can stir up the rust on
the bottom of a steel tank too, but your charcoal cannister theory has a lot
of merit.

Well Guys,

Again thanks for the help. Most likely a spark problem. Pulled the
distributor cap and the distributor ignition pickup wires were frayed
with no insulation at all. Put a rebuilt distributor on ( easier than
changing pickup and vacuum advance and only $15 more) and it started
right up. I ordered a new float which will be in Mon. pm and my
problem will be solved. A new muffler and set the timing and I will
be back on the road.

Ciao

Jim
