Good Evening....I bought this 86 4x4 and got it looking good, but I still have a problem starting it.....I have rebuilt the Carb and still no luck after about 50 pumps of the gas pedal it will finally start...HAVE ANY IDEAS.....Maybe a Holley Carb.......I have replaced the fuel filter, but not the pump....HELP PLEASE...........It is getting so fustrating I listed it on Craigs List....If I use a Holley 500cfm, where can I get an adapter...THANKS......Roger

 

If you spray gas into the carb does it start right away? In line electric pumps are cheap, this solved a similar problem I had with an old b2600 I had.

 

I spray gas in it and it starts right away...is it possible that the pump is bad???

 

I would say it is a good possability. Is it an electric pump? pull the intake line off of the carb and let it pump into a clean container. see if it is pumping well. If it is an electric pump it will be full power all the time, using the bypass to bring excess back to the tank. If it is a mechanical pump it will vary with engine speed, but it needs to be running to see fluctuation.

 

It is a manual pump.......The motor is out of a older Pick up........When I finally get it started it runs great......It seems like the fuel is not staying in the bowl......IF I WANTED TO GO TO A HOLLEY, WHERE CAN I GET AN ADAPTER PLATE????? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

 

My friend had the same problem with his 74 dodge dart. Fuel was slowly seeping out of the bowl through a bad idle screw I think. Once it is running, is it easy to start right away? how long does it take to "not start"? Let the bowl fill, turn it off, and wait and look for the leak.

 

It takes only 1 minute......I can't find any leaks.......I want to find a Holley Adapter Plate...Where can I get on........

 

sorry can't help with that one. I think you should try a new post.

 

try lcengineering.com however thats kinda a big carb for that motor
