I hadn’t driven my 1951 Jeep Willy for several months. I went out 6 days ago, started her up! Drove about 10 miles from home and back no problem, then shut her down. Went to start her again 3 days later and she won’t start. I put some fuel in the carb and she started until the fuel was gone, then nothing. We took the fuel line off the carb and cranked it, producing fuel. Fuel filter and pump look fine. I “think”I may have sucked some junk from the tank into the carb. What do I do now?

Was fuel pumping from fuel line? Pulses? Might be stuck float needle. Stuck closed so no fuel into carb. Maybe gentle tapping on top of bowl where fuel line enters? Otherwise, pull top of carb to see if fuel is in the bowl

If it's a WO, you should take it off once a year, minimum, disassemble, blow it all out with air, re-assemble. I do it once a year to stay in practice so that if I should ever have to do it on the trail, there will be no issue with tool #1, which is me.
