What's up guys???
... regarding my question earlier
.... why after I start my truck and it gets warm, then I drive, cut it off, and it sits for an hour.... I have to pump the accelerator to get it started,???
....then turn the engine off, and it starts up continuously with no problem???
. .But then soon as the vehicle sit for a little while seem like all the gas leaves out the bowl of the carburetor and I have to pump the accelerator again to get gas in the bowl. What's the problem?

For starters, all of the seals and gaskets in that carb (if it hasn't been re-built lately) are shot from both age and ethenol fuel.
If it's a Q-Jet, the wells may be leaking. Easy fix during a re-build.
I'm sure others will post helpful suggestions.
