Starting problems

Post by Masakis88 »

I just bought a 1967 ford f100 390 engine c6 tranny.
Started truck up to day started fine drove around town and stopped truck at my house and wouldn't start sounds like this.

Finally started after 15 mins drove around town again for 10 mins came back and parked it and still does it hasn't done this tell today. Shows it has a good battery and that shouldn't be the problem

Any info would help

This is a video I took what it sounds like

Sounds to me like your battery is about dead.

Your video's won't play for me.

A guess to me would be starter heat soak if it starts fine when cold but not when warm. Same could be said for carb adjustment. Without a better description we're just guessing. What, when, where, how makes a huge difference.

Doesn't just start up when it's cold but have to hold down gas pedal to keep it from dying. But usaalu once warmed up it starts better but since yesterday after driving around and turn off and try to start again right after it does what's shown in video

Yeah, that's a dead battery or extremely high resistance in the starting circuit. Are your headlights bright when you try to start it? If not, battery, if so starting circuit.
