I am having trouble getting my truck to start. I have to hit it with starting fluid to get it to start. After it warms up. I have no issues getting it restarted. I have done a complete tune up and to no avail I can't seem to figure out what the issue is.
I have been tinkering with it now for a while thought at this point would be best back everything out and start over.

How is it set? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 203 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 203 | Turn your mixture screw all the way in clockwise, then back it out 1.5 turns. Then adjust it to sound best. Then adjust idle speed.
