All, Just wanted to let you guys know that I got the fuel tank removed today and cleaned out the tank and all the little pipes and hoses. It was a real mess. Then after getting the float needle unstuck, gas is flowing and the car is running good. I also had to clean out the clutch master and slave cylinder, bleed the brakes, install new plugs and battery. The car pretty good today for the first time in 9 years. The engine and transmission seem to be fine. Thanks for you guys that responded!!! Hope you have a nice Easter.

One of the TR6's I worked on had a mud daubers nest in it that gave the same symptoms. It would filter a little gas through it while it sat, but only enough to run a little while. We ended up pulling the line off and cleaning it out. Nothing we did could clean it on the car.
