Hi guys,
today I took my 66 Belvedere for the last spin this year, it sat for a good week.
I have this problem since I own the car (July this year), I put a Holley Street Avenger 670 on it with an electric chocke (383 Engine).
If I drive the car every day or two it starts up perfect.
I had to crank it for more than 90 seconds (not constantly), it is horrible.
After cranking it forever it started up and idles perfect - no problems, perfect AFR - dead cold.
I can see the fuel after a few seconds of cranking in the sight glass of the fuel bowls, but no fuel is getting to the engine.
I can smell no fuel and I checked a plug and it was dry.
Cranking, Cranking and then it started up perfect.
The Carb is only a few month old and runs perfect, perfect AFR.
The only problem is starting after a few days of sitting.
I mean that I have to crank it a for few seconds after sitting is totally fine, but this is to long....
If something is blocked inside the carb, wouldnt it be a problem not only in the starting process ?
Best wishes from Germany
