starting

I have been storing my truck outside because I have been waiting to get my lisence and the weather has been cold, I went out today to start it up and it turned over the first time but didnt start tried again couple of times and absolutley nothing, tried agan and started. Just wondering if this is something I should be worried about. The truck has been sitting for about a month.

Re: starting

did it try to turn over, or did it just not atempt to start? if it tryed to turn over, then its fine, the cold weather makes all carbed chevys not wanna run, there are all cold blooded

but if it didnt atempt to turn over, then u might have a problem
