On my restored '68 Charger with the 440, I have the original Carter AVS 4428S carb. Everything has been restored back to stock. The choke works great, as well as the fast idle linkage, etc. After the car has been sitting for 4-5 days, it cranks and cranks before getting fuel to the carb. Once it starts, it's good to go. To reduce cranking time, I've been giving the carb a shot of fuel from a squeeze bottle. After doing that it fires up.
Now, from day to day, or even a couple days, I have no problem with it.
I'm looking for thoughts or suggestions on what might be the problem after sitting for 4-5 days.
I really do not want to replace the carburetor with an aftermarket one. I would prefer to keep everything stock.
Once it lights off, the carb performs great.
Any thoughts?
