Electric fuel pumps help this. The lines and the fuel bowl dry out and it takes
a lot of cranking to charge the system. Some guys add an electric in-line and
use it just to "prime" the system. If, I should say when, the truck vapor locks, just
kick on the electric and presto!

Carmen's problem sounds electrical to me, like he's got a loose or broken wire
to the distributor or to the switch. Anyhow that's the way mine acted.

back when i first bought my m-43 it ran fine but would never start up
again.i still have the same
problem now. it seems to take almost 10 minutes before it kicks in.i
don't know if its due to the
design of the engine components or whether its a faulty part. i remember
way back asking the
list about this problem and most of the responses put it down to ' thats
the way these trucks are '
so i just accepted that.but lately i've been wondering if there is some
kind of ignition boost formula
or part that could be added to help the fuel bang sooner in the startup
phase because it almost
seems as if its taking all that crank time to get enough fuel
circulating through the system. i'm
in the same boat as you and i'd love to get this worked out if possible.
anyone know?
