Re: starting problems
Fuel is leaking out of the carburetor bowl somewhere. You can add an electric fuel pump to prim it, but you really need to find where the fuel is leaking. One suggestion is to remove the carb from the car and set it up somewhere (where fuel vapors are safe!) and fill the float bowl up and let it set and see if you can tell where it is leaking.
