If you continue yousing starting fluid your moter will become adicted to it in the long run it will hafto be rebuilt.fuel air spark need to be checked could be your choke system.
If it has an elec choke which most do unless you have a manual choke cable installed in your vehicle you can disconnect the wire to it on your carb but this may make it difficult for you to start and keep your vehicle running when it's cold
The choke is there to cut off the air supply and pull in more fuel when it is cold. You have to repair the choke or put a manual choke on it. the warmer the engine gets , the more the choke opens up.
Sounds to me like your choke is malfunctioning. Take the cover off of your carb when cold and see if the choke (top buttefly valve) is closed. It should be when cold. (you do not say what year truck you have so I am guessing as to the answer)
the 318 is fuel injected and has no automatic choke,it does have a cold start system to aid in cold starts,the most likely cause of your problem is a bad or dirty throttle position sensor.you may also need to clean the throttle body and throttle linkages or cables
i have a 1984 pup 4 cyl 4 speed.i cant seem to keep the electric choke adjusted correrctly.is it possible tha there are problems elswere in the carb?or just the choke
