[QUOTE="75roadster, post: 115165, member: 2053"] Are you saying you have to pour fuel in the carb just to get it started or to keep it running? You don't say whether or not you experience this issue on all cold starts or only after the car has been sitting for few days. I assume warm starts are not a problem. It sounds as if the bowl may draining as the car sits. With the engine cold and before attempting to start take off the air cleaner and look into the carb and open the throttle wide. You should see fuel squirt into the primary barrels. If you don't the bowl has drained and you need to find the cause. If once the car has started it continues to run but runs poorly until warm check your choke to be sure it's operating, (should be closed when the engine is cold and fully open when warm). If it's operating then work with your choke adjustment moving about one notch at a time (likely in a counterclockwise direction to keep the choke on longer) until you get satisfactory performance during warm up. Just a couple thoughts, hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
