[PPCC] Grandmother's Corvair

[rearengine.steve]

Might be the 8 year gas has congealed on the bottom of the tank plugging the outlet from the tank. Could even spread into fuel line from tank to engine. Rubber hose over rear axle usually failed after the length of time creating a vacuum leak which won't allow pump to work. 
Starting fluid is extremely hard on the engine. If it won't run on gasoline don't force it with ether.
