'89 I6 258 with a Weber replacement carb.
Once I get it cranked, everything runs great. It also readily cranks if it has only been sitting for an hour or two.
When I try to crank it cold, I generally have to pump the pedal a lot and try to crank it several times before it will catch.
I'm thinking the carb needs to be rebuilt...perhaps fuel is leaking or evaporating out of the bowl?
