After driving my Model A for about 30 minutes and the tank is about half full it begins to act like it is running out of gas and stalls. Sometimes it will be idling smoothly in the driveway and just dies. It won't immediately re-start and I have been siphoning out the gas, cleaning the sediment bulb and the carburetor strainer. There is typically a fine sediment in the bulb and a little on the carb screen. This has been going on for some time and recently I installed a new fuel shut-off with a new in-tank screen, new interior gas line and a new line to the carburetor. Still no improvement! The carburetor was a rebuilt one about 2 years ago when the car was totally restored. The car starts easily and seems to run fine until stalling. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks for the help.
