hard starting

With my old Carter AFB I had to usually crank at most 15 seconds to get the bowls filled enough to get it to fire and that was only if they were bone-dry (sitting for a week or more). If it's really taking you 2 minutes to get it fired you might have a fuel supply issue. BTW now I'm running a new Street Demon with the plastic body and it handles the modern fuels MUCH better, more consistent temps and AFR (I have an O2 sensor and digital readout). It will boil ethanol gas on the hottest summer days if I'm idling around in bumper-to-bumper traffic but besides that it's a lot more 'drivable' than my old Carter. Usually still has gas left for the next cold start as well, if it's only sat a day or two I can pump the gas pedal 2 or 3 times and it fires right up.
