Ott3r 'Bolter O Joined: Aug 2019 Posts: 240 NM	Has anyone else had a mechanical fuel pump fail in the cold, and/or after sitting for ~4months? My 235 fires with starter fluid, but dies shortly... even after ~10 attempts. I'm a bit surprised since I just put a new pump on ~3 years ago. '59 Chevy Suburban, NAPCO
