Car not starting if it sits
The 66 GTO will not start up if it sits for 3 or more days, without pouring gas into the carb. It has the 4 bbl Carter carb with auto transmission. I think what is happening is the float bowls somehow loose fuel. If I start the car every day I do not have this issue. Any idea how to correct the problem? I posted this in the street forum first, but thought that this might be a GTO specific problem. I don't think that these cars did this when they were new. I read before where others said they had the same issue, but never saw a fix for it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
