Re: Truck turns over but won't start
If it starts and runs with either start fluid or a small amount of gas poured in the carb, timing/ignition should be good.
Things to try in order:
Spray some carb cleaner down the vent and wait a few minutes before trying to start. Possible the gas turned to goo when it evaporated.
Unscrew the idle mix screws a couple of turns and try starting. If it starts, readjust after a few minutes.
Possible the needle/seat/float stuck shut while it was sitting. Try gently whacking the carb with a rubber mallet on one of the solid parts.
