Re: hot starting & fuel?

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yea someone had installed a new fuel pump. It's got the stock lines running still, and I'm guessing a stock replacement pump. I'm sure the carb needs tuning, prolly hasn't been messed with since 64, it looks dirty. What's funny is if you start it cold it fires right up, drive it and get it hot shut it off and crank it it fires right up, only when it sits for a few minutes does it do it. I just got radiator rodded and flushed the block, it's so clean and does so good it not funny :) so I don't think I'm running hot. It's not hurting me driving it its just annoying and doesn't look good when ur sitting there turning it over :/

Or maybe the best Carter fuel pump set up for 230 gallons per hour at Jeg's or most anywhere on the cheap for what it is and the shield will do it.  Go the cheapst way first.  Maybe 3/8 line from at least your fuel pump to your carb with the better fuel pump.  Maybe the carb needs tuned.  Could be lots of things and people have offered all good solutions.  Sooner or later one will work, if it hasn't already.

>>> ...Its got 110k miles. Fires right up.... when the motors hot it takes a second to start. Usually If I just keep it cranking it'll fire. I haven't done a tune up yet since I bought it...idk if that's the problem but I hear something about gas boiling off. Maybe y'all can help me or steer me in a direction. Thanks!
