Re: IML: Hard Starting



Tony,
I believe the gas in the carburetor is leaking into the intake manifold and possibly evaporating.  Also the fuel pump could be weak and does not get enough gas to the carburetor which is another reason it is hard to start. But I am not a mechanic, just a tinkerer of sorts.

>>>> Please read the confidentiality statement below <<<<

My '65 Crown will not start after sitting overnight.  If I pour gas or use starting fluid, it starts right up.  Once it's running, it's fine and can be restarted normally all day.  If the car sits for several hours, I have to prime it again.  I don't seem to be able to pump gas into the carb for start up.  Would this be the accelerator pump in the carb?  The car runs great once started.  There is not gas leaking into the oil that I can tell.
 
Also, I am trying to find a new choke pull off for the Carter 4 barrel.  The one I have must have a bad diaphragm.  Local auto parts stores are no help.    Thanks - Tony
