Re: Carb Issues?

When the truck is warm and you try to start it, hold the accelerator all the way to the floor and keep it there as you turn the key to start the truck. When the truck starts to "catch", keep your accelerator all the way down for an extra second or two (reving the engine), then let up on the accelerator. If you have vapor lock this will allow the engine to start. Vapor lock has different "fixes", like adding a spacer block under the carb, but I just deal with it as described above since I have a big block and they tend to vapor lock and I don't want to mod the carb.
