did you do a carb. conversion? if not I don't know why you titles this 'carburator' anyways you'll probably need to give more details about the car and what it does before anyone can answer anything for you

no its the original carb it just wont start by itself when i turn the key. it will start when ipull the choke when it is hot but without pulling the choke it wonnt start. when it is cold it tries to start but wont till i give it a shot of starter fluid it stars right up and runs great.

Yeah, FWIW, fuel injection didnt start intil the 85 GSL-SE. And I dont know the carb'd models very well...sorry

[Soyo]

yea, I was expecting he was talking about an FC and did a carb. conversion... I know nothing about carbs, its all EFI for me

EFI started on the rotaries in 1984 for the GSL-SE,

if you are having starting issues like what you are describing.. i would first check out your spark plugs and other ignition components. like wires, rotor.. you not be having a hot enough spark to fire the car..

if these all check out OK.. consider rebuilding the carb... or havingit rebuilt..

If you have ~$300 around.. order a Paul Yaw Street carb..
it flows better than a holley.. at less than 1/2 the price..
