Cranking problem

Hey guys,

If I start my truck for the first time that day, I turn the key to on, press the pedal down all the way, release, then press the pedal down slightly and start the truck. Most of the time, it fires right up without a problem.

However, if I drive around and park it, say to go into a store, then come back out and try to start it, sometimes it just cranks and cranks before finally starting. Sometimes, it fires right up again.

What is the cause in the difference starting for the first time that day and starting after parking it for a few minutes? The only thing I can think of is that after I park it and try to start it again, I'm going through the same routine: turn key to on, press pedal all the way down, etc...maybe that's unnecessary and I'm flooding it a bit?

I'm not sure if there's something I can do to fix this to where it's more consistent with it's starting, or if there's something I need to change in my process for starting? I don't think the carb is draining out or anything, especially since the first time I start it that day it fires right up. Suggestions?
