[MV] M-37 Starting Problems

Hey All:

I'm back with another question:

I have a 52 M-37 which is consistently difficult to start. I turn on the ign switch, close the choke, pump the gas a couple of times, and crank, it generally does not start. I usually have to open the choke, and floor the gas for it to start. This problem is winter and summer, wet or dry, etc...

A couple of details:

1- the ignition system has been replaced (Wires, plugs, cap, rotor, points, ign switch),

The take out plugs were caked with carbon

2- the charging system has been replaced (New gen, reg, cables, and batteries), It always cranks

3- I recently timed it to spec.

4- the fuel system has been replaced a few years ago (gas tank, lines, fuel pump, carb)

My thoughts run to the carb being misadjusted. Can anyone tell me how to properly adjust the carb. (Or any other suggestions get this puppy back on track)

Thanks

Hank

(BTW one of the major reasons I need to correct this problem is when I flood start it, my 76 Corvette which lives to the right of the truck gets covered in soot and grease <<G>)
