I have a '65 F-100 six. It has a Holley model 1940 carb. I have been having trouble starting after it sits for a few days. Seems that the accelerator pump is either dry or the linkage is not engaging. It has that strange triangular linkage with the three slots. If I pump my gas pedal and close the choke it will start. Once it starts it runs fine and starts easily until I put it away for a day or so and then I must fight to start it all over again. Had it rebuilt and the guy said it was "bleeding down" and to put on a fuel filter??? Any thoughts?
