hey guys i just got a 1984 camaro z28 with the L69 305 and t5 trans and i im new to carbed cars and i was just wondering if this is normal when i start the car cold it takes quite a bit of cranking but when its hot it fires right up i have some videos if it helps in the dark one the car has been sitting for a week and the other its been sitting for a day i do give it two pumps before i start it...

 

Check for leaking well plugs in the carb draining the bowls when it's parked for an extended period.

 

time to rebuild the carb, and epoxy the leaking plugs.

 

thanks for the replies i have a 1985 firebird service manual that came with the car im wondering where or what im looking for in the diagrams or if in the service manual the well plugs have a technical name thanks

edit: using google i found what they look like i will try to have them fixed thanks for the help

 

i tried starting the car again tonight i was playing with the throttle and choke on the carb to see how it works so i must have give it at least 20 pumps plus at least 10 foot pumps and it started pretty instantly but i will have that well plug checked also do you guys know how much amps the glass fuse is for the under hood light (whats left of the fues says 4 SFE)? thanks again for the help
edit: i figured out that what i wrote is the type of fuse i need
