How is that? I was thinking it may be a fuel or air issue...maybe the carb is leaking fuel from the bowl, into the intake and flooding it. Then maybe when i go to start the car, it adds more fuel and is too much to start.... bottom line is one problem is affecting the other it seems. Since I have to crank it over for a while when warm, it is plugging up the ignition, casuing it to stay engaged. How do I fix problem 1? Or is the battery/cable fix to help both and I shouldn't be separating it into 2 problems?
