Classic Truck starting issue, 84 GMC Sierra. I have a new starter and battery installed. Started and ran great for last few weeks, woke up this morning and now it won't start. Truck turns over but won't catch. Carburetor gets fuel but won't start. I have checked all that I know. Any help is appreciated.
