'47 Flathead won't keep running
 

I have new 6 volt coil, new 6 volt fuel pump, new condenser,new fuel lines,and cleaned carb and calibrated float level
Now I am having to pull my car about 200 or 300 feet to start and it runs great for about a minute or two a land then it dies as if it is running out of gas
HELP me please

Re: '47 Flathead won't keep running
 

Had similar problem with a 6V fuel pump. When gas tank was full , it would run well. When half tank it would not run for long. Fuel pump is a pusher and was mounted high and forward towards the engine. Moved pump back toward the tank and lower. This solved the problem. I think the pump was not pulling out of the tank when down to half?
