the tahoe will crank but will not start. the longer it sit the more cranks it takes to start it. if it a hot day it will start after two cranks.

sounds to me the fuel pressure is bleeding off as it sits... next time try just turning the key to on for a count of 3... back to off for another count of 10... key back on for a count of 3... repeat.. then crank to start.. if it starts right up suspect leeking fuel injector(s)

This motor vehicle has a carburetor instead of the well-liked gasoline injection. A carburetor has a choke (butterfly valve above the commonly used barrels) which must be closed while the engine is chilly. you ought to pump the throttle some million/2 thank you to set the choke. This choke may well be adjusted. get rid of the air filter out conceal. BE VERY careful working THE ENGINE devoid of AN AIR purifier. A BACKFIRE in the path of the CARBURETOR CAN SET YOUR motor vehicle ON fire. HAVE a hearth EXTINGUISHER available. in lots of cases you could SMOTHER A CARBURETOR fire WITH A moist RAG, HAVE ONE waiting. The choke must be thoroughly closed then the engine is closed. while the engine starts, there's a vacuum actuator that ought to pull the choke open some million/4" you could bend the linkage from the vacuum actuator to adjust this. because of the fact the engine maintains to heat up, the choke ought to completely open. there is likewise a linkage that actuates a cam to the throttle linkage. there's a separate idle adjustment screw This controls the chilly quickly idle. adjust as mandatory. stay away from repeated pumping of the throttle. each and every time the throttle is pumped, the accelerator pump sends a shot of gasoline into the engine. Repeated pumping of the throttle will flood the engine.

Probably needs a good tune up, maybe new injectors too
