[Chevelle-list] Hard to start!

[Rick Schaefer]

  Is the gas draining out of the carb?     Next time pour a small amount of
gas into carb before you crank it.   If it starts right up, or at least
fires over, you have a fuel problem.  Could be taking 5 minutes for fuel
pump to get gas to the float bowl.
