Posted my 1986 K10 SWB truck up on CL. Had a blast of owning her for the past 3 years. Time to part with it to have a happy wife and life - no room in the garage for her.
She’s a SWB. Stock. Based in Atlanta...
Just for kicks. Title of the ad tells all, can’t handle it & coming back from the dark side. :happy175:

I might be able to go. Not sure, will depend on daughter travel team schedule when released in mid summer. :disgust:
Will they let in non show condition k10s that have faded original paint and dents in the mix? :secret:
Update. Tried not pumping gas, fires right up after being warm. Will have to keep eye out.
Below are pics of carb and label in glovebox. I have the high altitude emission, code NA6.

I avoid the ethanol based fuels whenever possible. I run ethanol free 90 octane or better. It doesn’t run well when I use 87, it tends to diesel after ignition is cut off - maybe that may be related to why she’s hard to start when warm...
I use GasBuddy to find ethanol free gas - if that...
Good point & advice. I think I might be flooding the carb accidentally by pumping the gas if it doesn’t catch. I will try your advice first - pump 1x then don’t pump again until the next day when it is same as air temp.
Choke is vertical when warm. I have not checked when cold - I’ll do that...
Have an 86 K10 305CI. Bone stock, original. Thought I’d pick yalls brains on this. I am by no means an expert wrencher, can do the basics. So here we go...
She fires right up every time when it is cold after pressing the gas once. If you drive it around town and temp gets to normal range...
Had an 07 Silvy Classic. Check the tranny feeds to the cooler - tubes tend to rub against the tranny - sported a leak while driving 50+ MPH on a poorly maintained county road in North Georgia coming home from work. By the time i found out it was leaking - tranny got cooked.
Other than that no...
