Hello! Thank you for taking my question. My car cranks quite a bit in the mornings when cold before it fires, then seems to run rough for the first few minutes after starting. Until it gets warm, I don't know if it will shut off or not. It can sit for an hour or two and I have the same problem, however, the car seems to run fine once it's warmed up. OCCASIONALLY, it hesitates slightly when I accelerate from a stop (red light or stop sign).
I have replaced the spark plugs and fuel filter. Supposedly a local mechanic has checked the carburetor and found no problems. Accelerator and fuel pump also checked.
My gauges indicate high oil pressure and high battery charging when the car is running at higher speeds.
It's been hard finding someone who can still work on an engine that isn't fuel injected. Thank you for your help!
