Weber Carby problems

[griffo]

Hi
My car starts and runs for a short time then just cuts out , it feels like its starving for fuel !! I leave it sit for awhile
and it then does the same thing
any ideas,

Fuel pumps shagged or blocked jet  maybe take the filler cap off to make sure shes breathing

Thanks FCRB26

I tested the fuel pump ( undid the fuel line and started the car - fuel came out) after that I removed the jets one either side of the carby and they were OK ,   
Should I remove the jets inside the carb and test ??

Is fuel getting to the bowl properly . The start and stop sounds like a needle and seat problem or a float level problem . More like a needle and seat because it eventually refills the bowl enough to start. Haydn

Check that your fuel pick up isn't blocked.

Thanks for the replies

I had a good look to try and find out whats going on
And Colt I reckon you've hit  it on the head, ( Ive got some gunk in the fuel tank )
I undid the fuel line just before the filter that's before the fuel pump and stuck my air gun up the
fuel line and blew the @#$& out of it.
Problem fixed.   for a little while any way,
so now I'll remove the fuel tank and clean it out.

Thanks for the help
