Truck starts great in the morning. Choke kicks in and everything. Truck doesn't miss or sputter at all when idling and all through my drive to work. HOWEVER, if I stop anywhere enroute to work and shut her off (i.e. gas station for fuel, coffee, cigs, etc..) It is a pain to restart. It acts like it's flooded when I try to restart it. I have to turn it over and over with my foot nearly to the floor to get it to start. So what gives? The thing starts fine when it's cold but after I warm it up and drive it a mile it is a pain in the ass to restart. Also, you can smell the gasoline when I struggle to restart it. Any help is always appreciated.
