Truck only starts if I put a little gas in the carb. Is there a sensor that can cause this or is the fuel pump bad?

Chances are the fuel pump isn't building enough pressure or the regulator is bad. I would start by checking pressure. If you need directions, go to our homepage under the DIY section. There are directions and a video to view.
