Hi I am new to this forum. My 1950 Dodge is in very good to excellent condition and runs very well. The only problem I have is starting it after a long period of not being started. In order to start under those conditions I need to pump the accelerator while cranking the engine. When the car has been started and run recently it starts very well. I was wondering if the problem could be that the fuel in the float bowl has evaporated and I need to pump gas back into the carburetor first. Also was wondering if adding a glass bowl filter just before the carburetor might help.
