    Just finished flushing my radiator and now I've lost my half turn start and now I have to pump it and it will stutter to a start where is will run fine. What do you think?

    Did you get the distributor cap wet?

    You should aways have to tap the gas once to get a motor started unless it's up to temp akready!
    Did you have the air cleaner off?
    Is the heat riser vacuume hose hanging up some Carb linkage?
    Is the accelerator pump working good and the choke closing all the way when you pump the gas before cranking?
    If you hook up a timing light and crank the motor does it flash steady?
