hello guys

i 'm new to this so be patient.

i have a 1966 chevelle with a 327(stock) and Rochester carburator(stock). Once the car is started,i have no problems with it running on the road. When I need to accerate, no problems. I'm have problems starting starting the car hot and cold.

Cold
if it been sitting a more than 1 week, i have to pump the gas pedal to fill the carburator bowls. Then it starts up no problem.

hot
if i park the car 10 minutes or 1 hours. It does not turn right away. The starter turns the engine but does not catch the first couple of times.

the carburator has been rebuilt in 2000 and with a new fuel pump in 2000

Hope i provided enough info.

I just remember my old chevelle turning everytime i turned the key over.

Please provide some feed back so that i can focus on the carburator area.

thanks in advance

Sounds like it's time to get down and dirty and R&R that fuel pump!.....Check the fuel pump push rod while you're at it!.....You may also want to check and adjust the float in the carb!

thanks Ron

the carburator was rebuilt in yr 2000 and i did install a new fuel pump.

I have not checked the float levels. thanks

Check your fuel filter or maybe a pin hole in the fuel line
