When the truck choke is opened (and warm outside) I can turn the key, hardly a half rotation of the engine. What I am talking about is only "cold" starting - after the truck has sat 10+ hours and overnight where it has "cooled" off.

Anyways, my scheduled shop appointment to have my rear end looked at is today (it still has a very, very little leak) - so I decided to punt to my shop. I explained all that I have seen and learned here. Either they can get it right or I am calling this carburator a loss (which is 100s of dollars between the core and the work at QuadraJet Power).
