Hard Start after sitting for a week
Ok so I went on vacation for a week and parked my '84 GSL for the week. I put it in the same garage I store it in for the winter.
I went to pick it up on Saturday and when I went to start it, it cranked and cranked, but would not catch, so I pused the choke in and tried again, it caught for a second, but then as soon as I pulled out the choke it died. So I tried again and it just cranked. Then all of a sudden it started but I was not sure it was going to saty running. But it did and now I am driving it again.
But this problem is bothering me, because it was easyer to start the car at the bigning of the season when I took it out of storage, then it was after it sat for a week.
Any Ideas why it was awful to start?
Thanks in advance guys...

Rollin' coal and 53mpg!
Give it a few days to clean itself out. It'll be fine. Are you using MMO in your oil or as pre-mix? I do for both, and carbon-lock isn't a problem for me.
