I have a 74 tr6 with stromberg carbs. They were rebuilt 2 years ago and have worked great until this year. When it is really cold here in Utah (below 40) and the car sits for a few days it takes for ever to start. Prim the pump. Pull the chock out and crank and crank the engine. One cylinder will start to fire then the others will fallow. Changed out the needle valves, adjusted the floats to about 16mm. Same thing. Then read something about trying to start with starting fluid. Took off the air cleaner and squirted some in each carb. The engine fired right up on the first turn. So I'm guessing I'm not getting fuel when I try to start. I've run out of ideas. Also checked the fuel supply and it is good. After I do get it started it runs like a champ, plenty of power and good fuel economy. Any Ideas?
