Every time I go to start my M275 with a stright 6 cylinder continental I have to use starting fluid in a spray can. I got tired of having to take the rubber hose off to spray the carb so I cut a small hole in it so all I have to do is aim for the hole reaching in from the side panel without have to open the hood. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries spraying about 5-7 seconds each to get it to start. After it is running I can shut it off and restart it again a few hours later with no problems.
Is it normal to have to spray it because of it's age or is somthing wrong with the carb or fuel pump?
I hope I'm not asking too many questions. You guys are great at giving info about military vehicles and I don't want to make anyone mad with all my questions.
