Bad Carb? 1406
Ok, lately I’ve been yard running my truck. But before it starts each time I’m having to dump fuel in the carb and then it turns over on the first try. I know the timing is off, and it runs loud because of the exhaust manifold. Does this sound like the carb needs rebuilding, because it has always been turn key.
84 c10 305 v8 Edelbrock 1406 Straight duals (passenger side manifold is only connected to exhaust pipe by one stud)

Re: Bad Carb? 1406
This is a common problem on older trucks
Check for cracked fuel line on the suction side between the tank and the fuel pump What happens is it sucks air instead of fuel If you prime the carb and get it running it will keep going Try hooking a small tank directly to the fuel pump;if that cures it replace the fuel lines....not an easy job as you have to pull the box or the tank |

Re: Bad Carb? 1406
Fairly new sending unit and fuel lines, but I will take a look to be sure. Thanks, guys.
