I have a 1976 chevy 1/2 ton pickup, and to start it, I have to turn the key, and step on the gas 2-3 times to get it to start. Would it still be possible to have a remote starter installed?
Here some info on a Carbureted Vehicle.
Answer: The ability of any remote starter to actually start the vehicle is always at question when installing on a carbureted vehicle. We recommend first identifying how the vehicle starts in the morning when cold.
Case One:
If you press and hold the gas down while cranking the vehicle and the vehicle starts within 6 seconds, AND then as you release the starter you release the gas AND the vehicle then continues to run a full 10 minutes without any intervention then any remote start we manufacture combined with our carburetor kit will work just fine.
Case Two:
Case 1 will not start the vehicle BUT If you press the gas ONCE and release it, then turn the vehicle to start, cranking no more than 6 seconds, and the vehicle starts and runs 10 minutes without any further intervention than our 30 series units such as the 20036 plus our carburetor kit will work.
Case Three:
You don't need to touch the gas to start the vehicle. You are really lucky! Any of our remote starts will work, without needing the carburetor kit!
Case four:
You have tried Case 1 and Case 2 above and cannot get either method to work. You either have to pump the gas multiple times, or keep tapping it just after the car starts for a few minutes -- or the car starts and stalls multiple times. In this case, a remote car starter cannot be installed unless the vehicle is repaired to start and run properly.
