Beginner/Intermediate looking for some opinions out there:
I've narrowed my problem down to either the CARB or the FUEL PUMP. (Truck hesitates and coughs when trying to accelerate.) My question is what should I expect at the service shop in the way of parts and labor for each job? Or, should I try it myself?
The FUEL PUMP looks easy enough to change. It's right there in front with only a few hoses connected and a couple of bolts.
As for the CARB, I don't see any fuel in the little looking glass when it's idling (stuck needle?) I've used nearly a whole can of cleaner (and a lot of prayer), but no luck.
The CHOKE seems to be working ok, I checked the fuel FILTER and the gas tank's filter screen -- both are clean. The only other thing I can think of is a semi-clogged FUEL LINE....
Any other suggestions or advice?
Thanks, Dave
