 | Does it have a temp sensor? sounds like a sensor is shutting down the fuel flow. Or is it carb with a butterfly not closing all the way?

| ok I assume you mean manuel fuel pump, sounds like the pump is losing prime when it sits for a while , check the line from the tank to the pump. instead of either try reg gas.....less chance of a problem later

| Do you run your engine without a air cleaner/filter? Did you add the carburator on at a later date? Try getting it started and then before you turn off your engine each time give it a little gas then shut it down immediately. Lubricate the choke and de-pit/clean the carb intake and butterfly. Replace the inline fuel filter as well. Make sure it isn't backwards. What is between the manifold and the carb? |

| Sounds like a seasonal truck - stays cold when its cold out and gets heated up for the summer weather. Send it to So. California or Florida. lol |

| When you start it cold do you use the old carb procedure........step on the gas 2 times then stay off and turn the key?
