I have a 72 F100 that will not accelerate. When you hit the gas it revs up for a second then it completely shuts off. It will stay running if you pump the gas but it cuts off if you dont. It has a 302. This problem happened suddenly. The truck had been running fine.
Do you
have the same problem?

I would say that either the accelerator pump or fuel pump is bad, both of which are inexpensive and easy to replace.

I ended up rebuilding the entire carb and that fixed the problem. Thanks.
