350 small block

[boloboss]

What's up Chevy family????
My 84 Chevy C10 has a 350 small block with a Edelbrock carburetor. It used to crank right up when I turned the ignition and now I'm having to tap the gas a few times before it start and sometimes more than that. But then once it gets going I can turn the truck off, turn the ignition and it starts right up and it will continue to start up consistently.. But then I'll let truck sit for a while, and the same scenario happens again Why am I having this problem?

Electric choke, electronic choke or manual choke? I don't know much about how to fix it but I bet this will be a factor in diagnosing it.

Electric choke is supposed to squirt gas in there when the ignition is turned on I think. Maybe that's not working.

I was going to get an Edelbrock AVS2 with electric choke so I'm interested in hearing what others think the problem might be.

Accelerator pump. Easy to replace. 1 pump cold starts again.
