something tells me that your not too fond of those. wonder what one would look like in a press. also wonder if ole boy got it to working. those older carbs like that are real finiky when you try to adjust them or do much with them to begin with after they have set up for so long.

I have a 86 yard truck with 22r and afte sitting I tried for over an hour with out getting it to start, changed fuel pump, unhooked tank and went dirrectly to gas can, etc. Than someone mentioned the gas congeals or somthing in the carb internals and plugs it up. I took my spare used carb out of the garage put it on and it firred right up.

I second the carb rebuild. The new carb I put on the truck is now doing the same thing after sitting a month. It won't start and acts exactly like yours.

I gotta try the chevy guys approach first....
