Chevrolet/Battery and Starting car for a '97 Chevy Blazer.

Question
I have two issues. First, I have to put gas in the carburator in order for the car to start. What can I do to resolve that issue? It will not start on it's on. The last question is that now when I drive , the battery dies out. I went to get my alternator checked and it is a strong, healthy alternator. What can I do about this issue?
Thank you,
Cedric
Cedric :
Hi ; I would say your fuel pump is not working if you must put fuel in the carb. to start it. or the filter is plugged . and when you say the alt. is good did you put a volt meter on it to see what it is putting out , if not 13 or more volts than its no good, or your battery could be bad also ...
