Just about had enough

This POS of a truck I own is really pissing me off! Today is the first cool day (55 to 60 degrees tops) I have tried starting the truck. I ended up draining the flippin battery trying to start it. The f'in carb does not have a functional choke, so it stays open all the time. I can never tell how many times I need to pump the gas to ensure the engine can start. And when the battery does get low, the f'in starter wants to **** all over the flywheel.

I like this truck, I really do. But why do I end up with **** like this? The truck is dead until I can get the battery to AZ and get it recharged. I really wish I knew some people that were knowledgeable about this stuff that were close by that would be willing to help me fix things. All I have to rely on is a Haynes book and these forums.
