ok i don't think it's the timing here's the problem
in the morning if i pump it and turn it over varrrrrooomm starts great and quick but if i drive it and it warms up good then shut it off for 5+ minutes the thing turns over and over and over (turns fast) until it starts
i noticed that the gas is draining back down the line (i have a clear filter near the carb) when it sits those few minutes. i also have headers and the temps get high under the hood but engine is at 160 or so mosta the time 180 at most.
the carb is an edelbrock 600cfm w/ performer intake, could it be just getting too hot and boiling the gas out or does the fuel pump have something to do with it? \
oh i also smell gas when it sits and i get back in after 5-10 minutes or so but none if it sits overnight kinda weird
getting crappy mpg now too
UPDATE: i installed an edelbrock heat gasket $15 and checked all lines for leaks which there were 2 at the connections gas smell is gone but hard starting still exists
