I have a SBC in my '40 with a Weiand intake and a Carter 4bbl carb, 600 cfm I believe.
Anyway, I need to pump the gas pedal at least 30 times to get it to start. If it's been sitting for any number of days, I'll just pour a little gas right into the carb.
It's got a mechanical choke, which is operating properly. And I've got the choke fully closed when attempting to start.
The truck runs great and accelerates smooth once it's running, just a pain to start.
Any ideas? Thanks!
