My son has been using my old 77 3/4 ton Chevy Pickup. It has a 350ci motor and automatic transmission. Usually it works fine, however lately has been giving us trouble.<p>It acts like it is flooded, at first that is <br>what I thought the problem was, we waited<br>a few hours and it started ok and ran fine.<br>However after a few days it started doing <br>it more often and it takes longer before it will start, once started it runs fine.<p>The engine turns over well, although we usually end up putting a charger on the battery because we keep running the starter.<p>My son says he thinks it has something to do with night driving, as once started it works all day but when he drives it home at night<br>the lights and voltage some times drop down and then will jump back up - much like a bad connection in the electrical system. The next<br>day, it won't start, turns over well, stinks of gas but won't start. It's as though it is not getting any spark, doesn't even try to start, just spins - then, after much waiting and trying it will start like nothing is wrong - we can immediately **** it off and it will start ok and do so for the rest of the day.<p>Are these symptomatic of anything easily fixed? If so, what?<p><br>thanks in advance,<p><br>joe<p>PS: you can e-mail me with suggestions and or comments about this problem at 77chevytruck@linuxfan.com
