I'm still trying to get my little Hummer 1956 165 running. My old fuel valve was stuck up so bad I can't get any fuel through it, plus I damaged, or it was already damaged, the screen part. I ordered a used one off Epay and it is stuck up tight as well. I tried everything to get it unstuck including almost straight muriatic acid and it wont clean out either. Then I decided to run a straight hose from the tank to the carb and it don't get fuel that way either. It is probably crimpted as it dosen't go straight down. The tank is clearly open so thats not an issue and I filled it full to the brim. Now, the carb is missing the little plunger that should be in the top of the carb to put fuel straight to the float bowl. Would this plunger be keeping fuel from reaching the carb? I cleaned the carb in carb cleaner overnight and it was not bad so I don't see that as a problem. Can someone tell me where I can buy a known good fuel shut off valve? Thanks Sonny Heath
