hard starting
My truck has a hard time starting for the first time of the day. It takes 5 or 6 tries of cranking and quite a few pumps of the gas pedal between them to get it fired up sometimes even starting fluid. After that it runs like a champ and purrs like a kitten and thorough out the day I can start it with a problem any suggestions?

Re: hard starting
This could be a lot of things Adjust Choke, bad fuel pump. timing advanced to far.leaks in carb gaskets. I would start in that order and fix one at a time
You might also check that you have a full 12 volts at the coil while it is cranking

Re: hard starting
What kind of carb. Might have a small seep in a gasket in fuel bowls that leaks out over time/night and the extra cranking is the fuel pump refilling the bowls.
