I suppose John G never told the story of how we caravan'd over that pass going 25MPH MAX becuase I was having fuel starvation problems? He was nice enough to hang back with me from about the first pass outside Woodburn all the way to Grants Pass where I waved goodbye and headed to my Mothers place -- which was a visit consisting of working on the wagon.
Never found the problem while down there, though I found others -- none of which solved it. I limped it back to Seattle from Grants Pass a couple days later. Once home and up in the air I found the tank outlet hose being brittle and cracked (didn't fix it). Tank filter a little dirty (didn't fix it). Ultimately I decided to rebuild the carb and found it was clogged up (this fixed it).
How it ran well before the carb clogged up, considering all the other things I found, is still a mystery. I guess it was because IT'S A FALCON!
