I was able to start the truck this morning. It takes about 1-2 minutes of pumping and cranking the engine before it will start. When I first crank the motor over, it catches and starts for just a second and then dies. It happens every time. There is no way to keep it running. It take all the pumping and cranking to get it started again.

How about I go back out to the garage in the morning before I do anything. I'll pull the top off the carb and see what it looks like in the fuel bowl. If its empty that should tell me something. I'll check the state of the gaskets while I'm at it. Is there anyway to tell if the needle valve is functional just be looking at it??


Thanks
