My new problem is vacuum/carb related I think. Basically what it used to do, like clock work, is I'd push the gas petal to the floor (when it was cold) and then crank it. It would start like on the 1st crank, litterally. I'd shut it off, start it up, 1st crank, it was going. But then the third time, and always the 3rd time, it would crank forever and then finally sputtered and would catch with some pumping of the gas petal, and then run fine. So, someone mentioned that sounded like a clogged intake, so I got some gas system cleaner and dumped that in the tank. After I got home, I sprayed a bunch of that choke/carb cleaner in while it was running. While I had the air filter off, I noticed this vacuum line unplugged on the APP (aux power pump or something like that on the carb) so I plugged that back in. That solved the stumbling when it was cool, but right after all that, it didn't start as good. I haven't had the problem with the endless cranking at all (in like 20-30 time starting it). But now, no matter what, it cranks for like almost 10 times it seems like before it will start. And it generally wont start till I tap the gas petal even when hot/warm! I unplugged that APP again, and plugged the vacuum line, but that didn't change how it started. Any ideas? I'm tearing my hair out over this....some things that I've done are, check the timing, the float level, (high, but within specs) and made sure everything I can see on the carb moves freely.
This is on a 1985 Toyota Pickup with a 22r engine. (that happens to be brand new, older carb on it though)
Yes, it got a new rotor, wires, plugs, distributor cap. I just rechecked the timing too.
