Hi,
I have a problem that is challenging my sanity. My truck will not start when it is cold. I have to use starter fluid, until it warms up. once it warms up and I have drove for a few miles it will start right up. Is there some sort of temp. sensor in the carburator??????
puzzled JEM

you neglected to mention which engine it was, but because you mentioned carb, i will assume its a 4.9L straight-6
I had this same problem when I first got my '86 a couple months ago. what cured it was a carb rebuild and control adjustments.
I wouldnt suggest rebuilding the carb yourself if you dont have any experience with carbs.. they can be quite meddlesome to rebuild yourself, and contain quite a few small parts.
also would sugggest testing out the electric choke as that may be burned out, disconnected or misadjusted
