Hard start sometimes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I put a 1406 on my truck seveal months ago and it runs great with one exception. Cold start it does fine and sometimes it starts great after I have driven it for a while. Other times when I shut it off I detect a gas smell and if I just kill it for a second, like to run into a store, and try to restart it will crank forever before it runs. Other times I get no gas smell and it busts right off. I do have an electric inline fuel pump on this truck and was wondering if it might still be pumping fuel to the carb and flooding it. Any other ideas?
