My truck starts up much better using this one simple trick
Ok, not a trick and not clickbait either, but I adjusted my fast idle this evening on my divorced choke Rochester carb. It now starts up at 1100 rpm and then settles down to @750 with the first blip of the throttle.

1. With the truck cold I stepped on the throttle once to engage the choke 2. With the air filter off I started the truck 3. I turned the fast idle screw clockwise. It is under the divorced choke on the passenger side front 4. Once the truck was idling at 1100 like I wanted I let it warm up a few minutes 5. When I blipped the throttle it release the choke cam and the idle went to normal idle speed 6. I then adjusted the idle solenoid to the park idle rpms (700-750) Before I did this my startup rpm was about 600 and I needed to keep it throttled up a bit until it warmed up. My idle speed was also too high then once it did warm up. I am thinking some of my throttle response issues might be related because the throttle was already open past the idle circuit at 900 idle rpms. |

I need to adjust mine too. I'll give it a try.
