Folks,
I rebuilt the engine on my 1986 B2000 and things worked well for the first few hundred miles.
Now, the engine starts, but once it is shut off, it will not restart until it has sat for some length of time.
The engine turns over, there is plenty of fuel at the Rock Auto rebuilt carb (yes, I later learned that replacing the original carb with a Weber should have been the direction.)
I replaced the coil with a new Mallory coil I had laying around, but this did not change anything.
The distributor was replaced a few years prior to the engine rebuild.
The rebuilt carb does leak at the dust boot around the accelerator pump. I assume it is the seal at the end of the plunger thing.
Any insights into a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ron
