Hey Gents,

I took my car out two weeks ago to lunch (Alice's!) and when I got back in the car after lunch, it wouldn't start. It would turn over, I could hear the fuel pump, and there was gas in the float bowls. For some reason, I decided to shut the fuel pump with the manual switch I installed, and it fired right up. I then started the pump while the car was running and drove the car home. At the time, I thought maybe I just pumped the gas pedal a bit too much and flooded it. I never had this problem in the past.

This morning, I went to take the car out again. Starting the car cold was more difficult than it usually is, but it started. I then drove 2 mi to fill up. When I tried to start the car again at the gas station, same problem. This time, I hadn't pumped the gas pedal, at first. It would turn, but it wouldn't fire. I then shut the pump but it still wouldn't start. Again, there was gas in the bowls, and I heard the pump. I took the air cleaner off, and I could smell the gas, but I couldn't tell if it was flooded. Sort of seemed like it was, but hard to tell. Eventually it started, not sure how, and I drove it home.

I'm planning on taking the carb off to see if there is any debris. There also is the slight possibility it is the MSD box I installed about a thousand miles ago, but I think its a carb problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
