Issue starting a deuce!

[commandojd]

My issue is...when I go to start my deuce, I have to hold the gas pedal down a tad in order for it to start. Then I have to hold the pedal down for a minute or so until it runs by itself.....because it will stall if I let go too soon.
Is this typical for these trucks? Or is their a problem I need to get fixed??

The fuel filters probably are getting clogged. One of my deuces would do that until it was very difficult to start, changed the filters and fired up without a problem. Gets worse if you are using WMO.
