Hi all
I'm new here and by no means am I a mechanic or mechanically inclined, but I am slowly trying to restore, or at least make my truck road worthy.

It is a 1977 Chevrolet C10 and has a problem with starting. It seems to only run well in the heat, or after the engine has warmed up to around 150 Degrees (water temp). If the engine is cold, I have to do the following:
-pump the gas a few times while key is turned
-turn key (attempt to start) 2 or more times
-keep my foot lightly on the gas once started to keep it running until engine reaches running temperature

Would this a carburator problem?

Thanks

 

Sounds like your choke is not working properly or at all on the carb. What kind of carb is it and do you know if the choke is connected?

 

I'm not sure what kind of carb it is, but before I posted here I didn't know what a choke looked like (yes, like i said I'm not very mechanically inclined when it comes to cars), so I looked it up on Google Images, and watched a couple vids on how to adjust it.

You were correct, after making a small adjustment to the choke it started up and remained running nice and smoothly on the first try.

Thanks very much
