1951 Land Cruiser:
1. If car sits for a few days, it has to be primed to start. When engine is finally running, a touch on the gas pedal results in stall, unless it is pumped several times; this keeps repeating even when engine is hot. Does that sound like carburetor accelerator pump problem? Choke seems to be working OK. Had same problem with other cars (4 barrel) but switched to Edelbrock. This car sat for quite a while and it came with 6 extra carbs which hints of carb trouble. An earlier problem was that, in overdrive, engine would quit with each gear shift, the relay fuse was removed and engine no longer quits. Could this have caused current issue, have a new relay but have not installed?
2. Gas gauge reads empty, installed NOS sending unit (easy to install), now reads full all the time, tank is about 1/2 full or 8 gals. Have NOS gas gauge (not easy to install). I'm trying to avoid installing it. Ken, Deltaville, Va
