). Anyway, I used the choke and cranked it over, after a bit of cranking (normal) it stated right up and ran smooth. Pulled it out of the garage, shut the choke off, open hood and confirm chokes are closed as mine tend to stick a bit, all good. I was going to let it warm up a bit while I dusted it off. It idled for about 2 minutes and then starting running really rough. Tried to give it a little gas and it would stall. Started up again (very rough) tried to rev while massaging the throttle and it sounded like lots of air but not enough fuel to rev. I thought, let me check the easy stuff first.... My fuel gauge doen't work so I don't know the actual level of the tank. Ran and got 2 gallons in a can and dumped it into the tank. Started it up again and ran rough for a bit then smoothed out and ran normal. Revving... All normal. Figured, damn I was lucky on my last drive to not run out of gas....
Now the strange part... drove to the gas station and it only took 6 gallons (it was full, could see fuel in the filler neck). So if I just put in 6 + 2 from cans, that would mean the tank was half full while it was still in the drive way. Why was it running shitty, but better after adding a couple gallons?
After filling it to full, we drove for about 20 miles and everything felt normal?
Any clues or suggestions? Seems strange to me.
I know I need to fix the fuel gauge or sender. It only goes about a needle below 1/2, to 5/8 tank when 100% full. So its always a guessing game. But today was strange?
