I have a nagging problem that I have had for about 15 years, maybe
someone is familiar with: In order to start my car, I have to pump the
peddle first ( before I even turn the key) about 75 times. I thought
maybe the carb had an internal fuel leak and the bowl needed refilled.
I rebuilt the carb. I have rebuilt carbs before with ok success - I am
not anywhere near expert. But the carb and problem were identical to
that before I started. The car runs fine except for the pesky fuel
needing "primed".
Does anyone have any ideas? Am I wrong to think it's the carb. Some
other part of the fuel system? Maybe I am mis-diagnosing the problem.
Scott, did you have any of the symptoms like mine with your fuel sender?
Thanks to everyone in advance for any words of wisdom.
