Has it always been like this since you did all the mods? I would have guessed you might have too much cranking-fuel with those big squirters...................

Good luck.

change out the fuel pump. You can check the pressure before changing it out. But I bet its the pump.

It sounds like you have too much cranking fuel (kinda what I suggested in the first post). 30's are a lot of injector while starting.....

SInce it used to start ok, I guess cleaning the inside of the dizzy is worthwhile (you mentioned it specifically). SOmething appears to be keeping you from catching immediately, and you're loading the plugs in the meantime.

Good luck.

Flooding. WHen you floor the gas pedal while cranking, you shut off the injectors. This helps clear flood conditions.
