I'm having an issue when starting my car, after it's sat for a few days. But it's a little different than the normal 'need to crank for a long time' issue.
First, I have a 72, with a mechanical fuel pump, with a return line.
When cold starting, I can fully press the accelerator pedal, and slowly release (like the manual says), and the car always fires right up. But, it will only run for a couple of seconds, then stalls. Then I'm in the same boat as everyone else, and I need to crank 3 or 4 times to get it started again.
Is it possible that the problem is the check valvue in the pump is bad, and the pump to carb line is draining?
Thanks,
Matt
