1987 toyota corolla fx won't start
to get it started i have to add carb cleaner directly to the carburator.
what is the problem, i bought a new fuel filter, and it ran fine for a day or so. but i just got stuck today.
it ran fine once it got started.

if you find out what the problem is please post it b/c i have been having the same problem; i have posted like 4 threads and I haven't gotten any responses. My camry has been to 2 shops and still nothing.
i fixed three things and it seems to be running fine.
one, it seems to get water in the the carbourator, so i add water remover from time to time.
two the carbourator pre heat hose had delaminated, thus clogging it (outside looked fine, but inside came undone and closed up).
3rd i was getting flooding because the bolt holding down my caebuerator broke, when i tried to start it hot it flooded the engine.
from time to time it takes a few extra seconds to start, but now it always does. hope that helps.
reply if you found something that fixes everything.
thanks i am going to check the carb. i'll let you know
i should also say that i check/ replaced the obvious things. timing, fuel filter, air filter etc
Maybe your automatic choke is binding-closing off the choke plate when hot creating the no start
