If i let it set for more than two days without starting it it is very hard to start. Tried pouring a little gas in the carb to see if it might be a fuel problem but it has no effect. Checked for fire at the plug and seems to be ok . When it does start runs very rouhg for about 15-20 sec. If I start it every day there is no problem.

it sounds like the choke isn't closing on the carburetor when the engine is cold ( more gas, less air). normally step on gas pedal once to close choke before starting. need to find someone familiar with carburetors to help as it can be technical setting it up
Try choking it or pumping the gas, possible vacuum leak, or choke not set correctly, carb may need to be adjusted, give more detailed question for more detailed answer. Good luck
i had the same problem the fuel pump is going out. It will need to be replaced, but a temporary solution, keep a coke bottle of gass in the truck and pour just a little in the carb. that will allow it to start and with the engine running it helps the fuel pump to get fuel to the engin
seems like you are not getting fuel up to the carburetor, try pouring a tiny bit of gas into the carb, then crank it and see if it will attempt to start...have you checked your spark?, even though coil and all is new, make sure you are getting blue spark, (from your explanation I assume you know how to do this)
If it attempts to start after the mickey mouse trick of pouring the gas in the carb, then more than likely its your pump, thats a mechanical pump, not expensive, probably not hard to come by, also replace the fuel filter and any damaged lines you may see. a kink will also cause lack of fuel flow eventually causing a vacuum.
I hope this helps a bit.
Its faulty fuel pump.When you pour gas in carb, it gets fuel directly, but when you start without pouring gas, then fuel is not reaching there.Low fuel pressure.Replace fuel pump and fuel filter.----- Thank you.
hello, usually when gas sets in carb for a long time it turns into a varnish, you will have to take carb apart and clean all jets out, even the fuel pump may be clogged up, you will probably have to rebuild carb, unless you have access to air line to blow any and all jets, pretty much all passage ways, power jets, in other words you have a carb problem, you may need a new one, unless you have a strong solvent, that will break away any varnish or gum up.
Sounds like the float has absorbed gasoline and can't ftoat anymore. This causes the fuel to not be shut off when float bowl is full causing the carb to flood. You will have to buy a carb kit and a float and rebuild the carb. Hope this helps.
check the fuel pump, maybe it is not working. if you put a new accelerator pump, I wonder if it's same as the fuel pump. if so, maybe you need to rebuild your carb, clean the small fuel line in the carb, something block there.
