Truck wont start, unless I tap the throttle?

[Jerry @ Edge]

Does anyone have an idea as to why my truck will turn over and over and eventually after 10 seconds or so it will start.
But if i tap the throttle it will fire right up?

Sounds like both of my trucks by choice because I like the idle set lower than spec.
I prefer to give it a little throttle when starting rather than hear it roar when idling.
If you prefer to not to give it a little start up pedal then turn up the idle.

idle too low, mine was the same way, even if its only as low as 600rpm it wouldnt fire up right away.

I submitted an identical thread and i had the same issue. it was the starter. pull it off and have it tested(simple project). mine still spun but not nearly as fast as it should..everyone said it was fuel related. it was the starter

mine does the same thing ........... but i have my idle set at 900rpms. AND i have NO fuel leaks... it has got to do with how you have the governor set upl.

Tighten each side if the GSK 1 click and reset your idle.
