Greetings,
I have a curious carburetor issue: (1955 235 with a Carter 2100 carb, standard points and distributor, 6 volt system)
When the truck is cold and I attempt to start, it will usually start after approximately 15 seconds or so of cranking, so long as my foot is OFF the gas pedal. It will start up and idle slow, but as soon as I touch the accelerator the engine will die. If I give it a minute or two to warm up at low idle, the problem disappears. Accelerator pump seems to be good, as it does squirt gas; I found it will flood if I pump the pedal a couple times before starting. Truck will not start if choke is used. When driving everything seems to function fine. What ideas have ye?
-Curtis
