start!
I've adjusted the float levels &
checked they're not overflowing!
I've tried to give the carb a couple of squirts
with the acc pumps
before i crank it but I can't really say it makes
any difference.
I've got 7 psi to the carb but that doesn't
guarantee that it get's enough fuel? Does it?
I'll do a rebuild of the carb in the
weekend and look if there's something blocking
the fuel deliverance? But the funny thing is that
it runs just fine once I get it to start?
Ignition timing prob?

Is the gas draining out of the
carb? Next time pour a small amount of gas into carb
before you crank it. If it starts right up, or at least fires
over, you have a fuel problem. Could be taking 5 minutes for fuel
pump to get gas to the float bowl.

What should I check first?
I have to crank the engine for 5-10 minutes (in
intervals of course) & give it a lot of "CRC Motor
Starter".
Once it starts it runs very rough & barely at
all & I can't give it any gas, then it will die.
If I wait until it idles properly (takes 2-3 min)
& carefully give it gas 3-5 times I can rev it properly!
Once it's running it runs just fine & starts
just fine if I start it within 30-45 min.
The distributor is new & the timing set to 12
degrees.
Any Ideas?
