on start-up there should be a 1 or 2 second squirt of fuel into the carb. but i'm not getting it.....the car will start with starting fluid and run normal, until it is time to restart. since it runs normal, i assume that the fuel pump and filter is fine...I've check "all" the relays and fuses all seem fine......any sugestions?
