Hey Barn,
I need a super sleuth on this one, I keep my 59ab driven 37 pickup plugged in over night on a trickle to compensate for a weak generator..... (I will deal with that at a later time..... said 5 years ago). When I get ready to start, I will unplug, let it sit for a bit and go to start on half choke, no throttle lest I flood the thing. It cranks quickly without struggle, but does not want to start. At this point, I break out the starter crank, walk over to the front and after two to three pulls, SHE LIVES!!! Albeit with a bounding idle I need to tickle the throttle to keep going. So at this point I have been using the starter to move the oil around and prime the carb with the expectation that I will hand crank after about three sets of five second crank no start. Does anyone have reasoning that can point me in a diagnostic direction? Other known issues; -No comp. on Cyl7, possible stuck open valves -Require valve lapping and adjustment -Bad generator used as a place holder for a fan And this is a daily driver so sitting too long shouldn't be an issue. |
