I have not started my '76 Bronco in about a year and it did not start yesterday when I gave it about four good tries. I stopped at that point to ask if anyone has any suggestions (for someone that is not a mechanic). The fuel gauge was on empty and I put in about 3 gallons of fresh high octane gas and I have a good strong battery. It has been hard to start in the past and I think it may be the carburetor (or maybe the operator).
- Are there any procedures that are helpful after the engine has not been started for a long time?
- Should the gas pedal be used when starting?
- Is using Starting Fluid in the carburetor a good idea?
