[Farmall] 53 chevy truck

This new gas evaporates very fast,, and has a short life in the tank. Use  
fresh fuel

Richard,  it has been a long time since I have dealt with the old chevy 
carbs, but I  would suspect that the gasket between the 2 halves may have 
deteriorated  and the gas is evaporating out of the bowl.  Your fuel pump 
should  refill it in just a couple of revolutions though, so i woudl also 
suspect  the fuel pump is getting weak or maybe the filter partially 
plugged.

it is to inject a little gas into the  carb.  Ideas?  Solutions?
