I have replaced fuel pump, check valve at tank (and is holding gas), tuned up with points, plugs and wires.
I have to pump throttle forever for it to finally start and then barely running for a while. Once started and warm runs fine!
Carb was rebuilt also.
The gas line from tank has not been replaced> could it be sucking air? No sign of a leak.
 
Ayuh,...... My guess is, it's either not gettin' gas, or it suffers from low compression,....
