You never mention what year or engine displacement. Most likely the flexplate has some bad spots on it. I would think it the teeth mash wasn't right it would really make a revolting sound and would tear up the starter or flexplate real fast. You'll have to remove the dust cover and inspect all the teeth. I seen bolts/nuts missing before with no effect no starting. Now it they (ALL) were loose then it would have a big effect when starting due to the starter flopping around. As far as you rebuild your idle mixture, accelerator pump rod settings, dwell (points gap, if you have points), timing, and choke settings, have alot to do with initial start up. go back and double check all you fine tuning see if you can find something off alittle. Also, put a vacuum gauge on the intake below the carb. unless you have big cam vac. at idle usually is 17" to 20". It it's lower then you could have a leak somewhere. Kind of long, but nobody was responding. maybe this will spark some different opinions on your questions.
This thread, so far...
