Most likely. You can test for fuel pressure at the shredder valve on the back of the intake

Check to see if the carburetor float is working. If the reservoir has gas in it and the float is on top of the gas, it should not have any issues starting. When did you last rebuild or have the carb cleaned? You may have plugged jets that will not put enough gas in the intake to start it. You also could have a clogged fuel line filter. Is the intake filter clean? Something is preventing gas from entering the combustion chambers. If you have never rebuilt the carb or changed the filter/s, that may help and give you more power and better gas mileage.

My 2002 Chevy Blazer is not starting, Sounds like it is fuel starved. Just filled the tank and got home fine next day it doesnt start. It turns over for a second and then wont stay on on. if i keep trying it sounds more like it isnt getting fuel. I am thinking since I let the tank get low to check m,y milage I may have picked up some gunk in the tank and cloged the line somewhere. Any suggestions on how to go about diagnosing and fixing this? 5 Answers
