I just reread the float setting procedures and re set the level. I might have misunderstood the procedure when I last set it as it was off by 5/32’s (set too low). After the work, it started just fine with about 1/2 choke, no pumping, and 1 day since last start. Thanks for all your help, I’ll see how it does next time and will update what I find.
To answer bartamos questions, I tried 1 pump yesterday, and it did not help. I have not tried pulling the choke all the way out. So far, I have just assumed it was a lack of fuel in the bowl and have just been cranking until it fired over (always ran fine after starting, and would easily restart that day). I was not keeping track of when I had last driven the truck until lately, that is how I knew it was 4 days, but have no exact data before that. Right now I have just been comparing the operating characteristics of this carb compared to the previous one, and I am trying to make sure that any errors I might have made in the overhaul or adjustments are not causing my problems. I will certainly change my technique as needed if it is just an issue with this model does that.
Now I just have to wait a week before trying again!
Lee.
