Hey fellas. I just had my new (to me) SPF delivered and I LOVE IT! However, I have been experiencing some starting problems. It has a push button start and it is a 351 W Holly carbed setup. When I turn the ignition on, I give the throttle a little gas and then hit the button. Immediately I hear a starting noise, then it stops. When I take my finger off the button, I hear a noise again. I'll repeat this process eventually flooring the pedal (because I likely flooded the engine) and after a few button pushes it will sound like a start should, rrrr rrrr rrrr...then Vroom of the engine. Once started it seems to be running a little rich, but nothing too crazy.

So, do I have a bad starter, bad starter connection, or a carburetor problem? Thanks for your help!
