Toyota 3 A carburator will only keep engine running with vigorous pumping of gas pedal

Car sat for 2 years, float was stuck. I got the float working but engine is still starving for fuel. It will only run by pumping accelerator and still has very little pwer. I can just barely get it to drive.

SOURCE: E85 fuel in a regular gas tank

Siphon out as much of the E85 as you can and fill the tank with good gasoline and drive it like you stole it for a while. You can't drain a tank without removing it and the fuel filter isn't going to catch anything in the E85. This is what I would do anyway.

1989 30ft pace arrow motorhomne sat for a year no fuel to carburator. check fuel pump worked checked fuel filter good.

You say no fuel to carb, but if fuel pump works that would mean it is pumping to the carb, so maybe the fuel just can't flow into the carb? Most carbs have a fuel filter at the intake point which could be gummed up, or the float valve could be stuck closed.

Ranger carburetor

Runs that rough after sitting 5 years? Don't even second guess it: get a rebuild kit to replace all gaskets and rubber parts. 2 or 3 cans of carb cleaner to really clean it well and all passages in the casting. Don't bother with the carburetor dip-it's been so sanitized and leaned out with all the regulations, doesn't do as good a job as it used to. Aerosol cans of carb cleaner with the tiny tubes for cleaning out those little passages.
Start off with a known good carburetor. Use fresh gas, too.

How to adjust carburator of toyota corolla 1991 model? when I release the gas pedal, the engine stops. I have not use the car for several months after it has undergone top overhaul. The engine is running...

Try to look for a screw 'stop' for controlling the angle of the opening of the throttle plate on the carburetor. Adjust this screw to keep the engine from stopping while at idle.

Car will not start without pressing gas pedal to keep idle speed up. If I keep idle at 900 RPM or higher it runs as long as foot is on gas pedal. It then stalls out when I take foot off gas pedal. No...

Have the idle bypass valve checked, also called idle air control valve.
If that valve is stuck in the closed position, it's not allowing the fuel to bypass the throttle plate to keep it idling, resulting in stalling, but will keep engine running if the pedal is pushed down.

1986 toyota camary. sat for 2 to 3 years and the

best bet would be to drop the tank and clean it out
they tend to get rust inside the tank when they sit this long if you decide to drop the tank and find rust inside take a 3 ft piece of heavy chain and shake it around inside the tank to loosen all the rust and clean the rust out really well before putting the tank back in
