Original Set up with original Carbs. Car won't start when cold after sitting. Carbs won't pump fuel even after cranking several times. Ultimately it will start, or if you prime with some gas it will start right up. Once started and warms up for a minute or 2. The carbs will pump and the engine starts immediately. Even if it sits for a while.
Good starter and cranking, good electrical. Carb linkage and choke function fine.
Confusing why carbs not pumping fuel cold, yet once started it carbs do fine. Is this a fuel pump that can't flow fuel at starting revolutions? Granted Carbs must be loosing fuel too to be dry after sitting. Looking for any experienced insight before I start with breaking fuel line to test fuel pump at start up. Thanks,
