My GMC is hard to start. I've got an electric fuel pump and run it to fill the carb bowl, but it doesn't make much difference. I crank for around 5 seconds then pause and repeat. It usually takes at least 4 attempts and often more before I'm successful. Once it starts it runs OK. Once it's warm it starts promptly. I've checked the chose setting and varied it from too rich to too lean w/o much difference. Earlier I thought it was the HEI ignitor (which may have been part of the problem) so I replaced it. Not sure what to try next.
