AMC 360 Trouble Starting After Sitting
AeroMoto
Jeeper
Has an Edelbrock 8867 Carb on it.
...and by after sitting, I mean as little as a day. It'll crank and crank all day, but won't turn over. My "magic" trick is to use a little Vitamin E, starting fluid. Spray that in there and it'll start right up. I'm able to start it after several hours, haven't exactly tested the time.
So I'm thinking it's a gas problem. It's got a DUI ignition less than 6 months old. The accelerator pump is working when I twist the throttle at the carb. So that tells me either that there's gas in the bowl or there's gas in the fuel line (not sure where the accelerator pump gets the gas from).
I'm a newbie on Jeep carbs, but I've messed with motorcycle cars. So where should I start? TIA
