[1969] Hard starting motor

[Bill H.]

                                                                    B"H
Wayne:  I'd say your carburetors aren't getting gas.  Do both carb bowls have the correct level of fuel?  If not, you might have to adjust your floats.  Also, actuate the throttle rod with the air cleaner off.  Do you see a squirt of gas going into the throats of both carbs?  If not, your accelerator pumps may need to be replaced/rebuilt.
Good Luck...Bill Hershkowitz1966 Monza Sport Sedan (former owner of '69 #5056)

Back to the shop where cracked gas line replaced, carbs and timing adjusted. Still hard starting unless a shot of starting fluid added. When engine is warm starts right up occasionally with a puff of blue smoke.
