this... got me new push rod was the fix !


Same here. If the car hadn't been started for an extended time period (maybe a week or two - can't remember) then no matter how long I cranked the engine it would not start. To get the engine to start I also had to manually prime the carb. I eventually found that the push rod was worn and once replaced the problem was gone.
