1967 427/435 Cranking Problems

[Rodney Armstrong]

Hello,

I am looking for answers on my cranking problem. When the engine is cold and has been sitting for a couple of weeks it is very hard to start without spraying starting fluid in the center carb. I don't believe the carb is loosing prime because the accelerator pump squirts fuel into the throtte. It is also very hard to crank when the engine is hot. Sometimes it will diesel back through the carb when you are trying to crank.

Any help is appreciated.

Some of these had a problem of having gas leak into the engine when sitting for long periods. Be sure that you are not having aproblem from the cylinders being flooded.
