Bronco ran fine when parked a couple weeks ago, 8 gallons of gas in tank. Went out to start it on Wednesday and it fired right up, idling around 1200rpm. After a couple minutes I blipped the throttle to bring the rpms down to the normal 600 and it died. Would not restart. Added fuel to carb and it fired up but would not stay running unless I held idle above 1000. I noticed my fuel filter by the carb wasn't full (clear plastic filter so I can see the fuel) or half full like it normally is. Even when revving engine fuel seems to just be spitting into filter. Once I let off throttle it dies. I checked the oil and level is normal with no smell of gas so I don't think its the mechanical fuel pump. So any ideas on what to check next?
