Re: Hard Starting Hot
I could see the needle sticking in the seat if the fuel was gummy and then the bowl dried out. But the bowl goes dry on my truck all the time, as I drive it maybe every few weeks. I have an electric fuel pump to feed the mechanical pump, so I run that for a bit, to avoid cranking too much.

Re: Hard Starting Hot
If you're still having issues and you suspect fuel delivery, or no fuel in bowl, or
you just want to eliminate fuel in the bowl before trying to start it. Heres a link to show how to check the float level with the vehicle running. This would insure the fuel level in the bowl is correct and you can use the same gauge to see if theres fuel in the bowl after the truck has set for a while. http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/ca...ajet_Dodge.pdf Heres where you can order the gauge https://www.summitracing.com/parts/smp-ct10 I used this style of gauge when I use to work on the computer controlled quadrajets. Hope this helps |
