71 Beetle starting problems
 
My 71 beetle won't start unless I prime the carb. After it starts it will run fine but when I shut it off it won't start again unless I prime it. I have replaced the fuel pump and all the fuel lines and filter. Any ideas?

check the distributor cap and rotor they could be worn down. or possibly the fuel bowl
