so.... i now have 300+ miles on my rebuilt 235...

when 1st started i needed to adjust lifters/rockers etc, no big deal...
carb was rebuilt, new distributor, coli, plugs, wires, etc... all was/is new

so just the last few days i just had trouble starting the truck. prior i needed no choke, pedal play or anything and it would fire right up.

so a few days ago i dumped some gas into carb...fired right up but had a wrapping noise... drove for 10 minutes, noise was gone and sounded great. a few days later i tried to start the truck and again, wouldn't start unless i put fuel in carb. Today same thing, fired up after putting fuel in carb and when it starts, it has a significant wrapping noise,but doesn't sound like rocker play to me... after driving it goes away and sounds great, but again still difficult to start.

attached are two videos... 1 right after i start and the 2nd after it has been ran...it's a little windy so i apologize...


any help?
