Question for ya
My antique service truck may sit for 3-6 month's or longer and when I go to start it up, it cranks and cranks for a long time, I have to give it the either spray a few times then it is OK. When it get's gas, it is good, even if it sits for 3 weeks or so, starts with just a touch of the starter.
It is a 1976 Chevy 3/4 Ton truck, 350 Chevy Gas engine, 4 BBL.
I thought of rebuilding the carb, but then I says to myself Hershel, it could be the fuel pump.. or something...
When I crank after a long sit, it still doesn't get gas to the carb, or, more precisely worded, it doesn't start. Not until I prime it.
What say you, my learned Gear heads?
