[Public-List] A Bomb

[George Dinwiddie]

Good though, John.  It's a relatively new fuel pump, though, and the 
carb was run dry at layup.

I wonder if the pre-filter (2 micron) could be clogged and restricting 
flow enough to prevent starting.  I would think it would run on the gas 
in the carb, and then die, if that were the case.
