Hi there guys!
First of all, can you quantify the statement above?
We need more info to offer solutions that might be cheaper and easier than replacing the carb.
I mean, that there are many reasons why fuel is not delivered to the carb.
1/ Insufficient fuel in the tank. Dont believe the gauge!
2/ Blocked tank vent, or loss of pump prime due to a cracked supply pipe.
3/ Rear electric fuel pump is missing/broken/electrical supply failed.
4/ Blocked fuel filter... FYI, my '84 345 has 3 inline. One by the rear electric pump, one on the chassis rail by the step, one on top of the intake, and one inside the carb!
5/ Failed mechanical fuel pump.
6/ Failed float valve inlet, or float stuck.
7/ Blocked internal passage in carb.
Now, if the Carb is old, aged and worn out that is a reason to replace it, but #1 thru 5 are not the carbs fault!
Should a carb be on your list, and I am going thru this at the moment, despite the fact I rebuilt mine, I am not happy/secure I did it right, as its still running odd.
I have selected my Guru, Cliff Ruggles of Cliffs Performance.
He is building my Carb as I wrote this.
He has the has the reputation, and literally wrote the book on Quadrajets!
