Argh!
I have a 86 f150, 2wd, auto, w/ the 300 carbed. I've rebuilt the engine, and transmission after it was sitting for 2 years. It seems I've replaced everything.
Here is my problem. It has issues starting. Obviously because its sitting, and hasn't been able to drive and use the atlernator to charge the battery, so we jump it off. However, it seems I have to pour a little gas in the the carb, just to get it to start. After that it'll stay started.
On top of this, I can't seem to get it timed correctly...is 10 degree BTDC correct?

Please title threads with the topic so we know what the thread is about
Never consider an alternator to charge a battery .
All they can be expected to do is top of the charge.
use a battery changer to charge a battery.
Hard start ?
Fuel can bleed back or disipate.
Try starting it every day for a while to see if it does better.
Have you disconnected the SPOUT connector before setting timing ?

I put it on a charger last night, I'll check it when I get home from work today. Will try to start it up this afternoon, and post back.
Sorry about the thread title...
