i have a 1980 trailfire and it is hard starting. i can have the choke on and pull untill my arms are tired and will not start. but if i give it a little starting fluid she will fire and run.
i have to do this every time i start it even when it is at operating temp? any ideas?
what should i do

Once you do get it running spray some starting fluid around the end/crank seals to see if it speeds up or changes the RPM's. If so then theres your problem. Just for starters

The seals could be the problem. Also, I wonder if your enrichener is working.
