I have a 82 c10 with a mild 350. It has the stock tanks, mechanical pump, and a quadrajet with broken choke(new one is next on my list). I have noticed it takes way too long for the engine to fire up. The carb and or pump is losing fuel. I can leave the truck for a few hours only to have to turn the engine over a 2 or 3 tries before it fires up. That usually consist of 5 second intervals.
I would like for it to fire up instantly or at least less than a couple seconds. I just don't want for it to eat my battery in the middle of town.
What would help with firing up faster? Is it the carb? Do I need to look into getting a new pump, possibly an electric pump?
While I'm here. I eventually want to redo my fuel lines from the pump to the carb. I also have a fuel regulator that I need to install but I have no idea where to put it. And lastly what type and size fuel line would be the best to go with?
Thanks
