[QUOTE="desertrefugee, post: 190279, member: 1727"] After Gerry mentioned his similar symptom and found it to be a flooding issue, I got worried and motivated to try and isolate my own condition. I was hoping like heck it was not flooding as I get irritated every time another carb problem comes up. I still might have one, but it's definitely not flooding. After sitting for a few days, I did my normal thing. Choke, hit starter, fire several cylinders instantly - and then nothing. I opened the air cleaner and hit it with a shot of WD-40 into the plenum and it fired up. The thing that still perplexes me is the initial fire and then nothing. If it were starved for fuel, where does that initial burst come from? I'll repeat the experiment, but with unseasonably cool weather in Phoenix this week, she won't be sitting idle for a while. I'd really like to fix what I have without going electric - if that's even the problem. And so far, it's more of an annoyance than an actual problem. [/QUOTE]
