stubborn engine starting
I sure could use some advice. My 31 Chevy rod SBC 350 has developed a starting problem. If the car is started at least every other day, no problem. But if it goes a few extra days, it does not want to start. It starts just fine if I prime the carb with some gas. I can see gas spitting into the fuel filter when cranking the engine. Is there an air leak in the fuel lines that I have not found that is causing the carb to loose its prime? The carb is an Edelbrock with a manual choke. Any ideas would be appreciated.

RIP Johnboy, another good one gone. I'll miss the monthly diary and your dry wit.
