It bothers me that you say "it purrs like a kitten" after a few minutes. "truck runs beautifully". If an engine purrs and runs and accelerates and goes all day like that. The carb is not far off of correct.. After you get it warm, get out, take off air cleaner and see if gas squirts inside the carb when you operate throttle. If it squirts the ACC pump is OK. It's the starting phase that's broken. You are out of gas in the bowl or semi leaking fuel pump or choke mechanism screwed up, cold plugs, weak ignition system.........ballast resistor,,,
