The metal fuel line might have rusted internally over the years & is now blocked. Try blowing back down the line to dislodge the blockage.

It took me about two months to find this filter because it wasn't documented anywhere that I could find. How to get to it: Locate the electric fuel pump which is normally just behind the rear cross member on the right hand side of the center of the car. You can then trace the rubber hose from the fuel tank to the fuel pump. Now release the hose from the intake of the fuel pump and you might find that you have to shake the hose against your hand or something hard because the filter sometimes travels back up the hose a bit. If it isn't in the hose then it should still be in the intake pipe of the pump. You should be able to gently remove it from there and my best bet would be to say that it will be chock solid with really fine silt and/or rust from the tank. If your model doesn't have an electric fuel pump then I would say that you can safely forget about everything you've just read

what about your carby.. put some carby cleaner down the throat & adjust the air/fuel mix screw behind the carby
