Re: Rochester Monojet Help

Pic. isn't loading for me, but my truck had that same carb, and it had a cable choke mounted under the dash. It appeared to be one of those off the shelf k-mart jobs. The only bracket you will need will be one to mount it to one of the bolts that holds the valve cover down.....I would bet you could get a piece of angle iron from Home depot and just use some creative bending.....I had the exact same problem though, with or without the choke....I think the carb might need a complete rebuild.......

If however, you are just looking for an easy way to start it....i found that if I tapped the gas when turning the key (continued tapping, about 1/3 of the way down), I could get it to start....once it kicks DON'T stop tapping the pedal, begin to increase the depth of the tapping until you are a llittle less than half way to the floor....then stop tapping, holding your foot half way down, this will allow you to get to an idle of about 2k or so (never had a tach when I had this problem), after about 2 or 3 mins. of high idle, you can let your foot off and it will idle fine.....if you had a stick shift like mine, you could just slide it into gear, but with an automatic it might just stall you out again.

Hope this helps......if you just want it to run and start, this should work, but this is by no means a final solution.
