Well I started the Hawk in the garage yesterday as I do from
time to time. It started fine and ran for 10 minutes or so
and just stopped. Wouldn't restart. I checked for spark and that was ok; Pulled the plugs and they were all wet with gas. Today I changed the in-line gas filter, put a new filter on the fuel pump, cleaned the plugs, regapped them. It started up, briefly, blowing lots of smoke, then died. Tries to restart but won't. It has new plug wires, new dist cap, new (well they were new) plugs, fairly new fuel pump. I checked all the vacumm plugs and they seem ok. The carb is a new Edelbrock 4bbl. I'm stumped, which by the way is not unusual for me.. Does anyone have any advice for this novice as what to try next? Tks,
