Hey folks,
So here's my issue. My '74 Charger starts just fine from a cold start when the choke is engaged. But if I don't give it gas for a minute or two after disengaging the choke to keep the RPM's up, and it stalls, I can't get it started again. It'll crank and crank but the engine won't catch. I eventually flood the engine in frustration, wait a while, then coax it to start by flooring it, turning the key, and it starts super rough after turning over for awhile. The roughness quickly settles and then it runs fine. Once it's warmed up, it starts with no problems again and again.
What gives? I am a total noob when it comes to mechanical issues, so try to keep the replies simple so my mechanically challenged brain can keep up. Thanks!
