I have a 400 in a 79 F150. About 3 weeks ago it began starting hard. Before it would fire within a crank, now it takes 4 or 5 cranks and run rough for a minute. I've changed the module, took the carb apart and cleaned it out with carb cleaner and air, replaced filters, and replaced gasket under carb. I found no vac leaks. My EGR is hooked up and working fine. It does this hot or cold. It acts like its flooding when it starts, but it runs great after it starts. This just started one morning. It has an edelbrock performer intake and a holley 4180 carb. Any help would be appriecated. Thanks.

Chad

Well if you say it feels like it's flooded then I'd check your Float level, could be it's to high and Holley don't like that very much.

I got it fixed. My power valve gasket wasn't sealing right and it was letting gas seep by when I shut it off. But thanks anyway.
