The dowel was my fuel gauge. Put a couple of gallons in it and primed the carb and it fired right up. New fuel pump before our next date and all was good. Been married 31years. I still have the dowel.

Interesting. I wish I would have had a dipstick with me to verify where the fuel level was at the time. I'm going to carry one till I get to the bottom of this.
