Cold starting/running problems
Hey all,
Lately I've been having trouble with my truck in the colder weather. It's always coughed and back fired quite a bid driving it in the really cold weather but it would get by. Lately, I can't even get it started or keep it running in the colder weather. However if it's more than 60 outside or so it seems to start right up and run like a top. It's kind of weird. I am not sure if it's carburation or electrical. I kind of suspect carburation. It's a stock 4b Rochester carb. Any ideas on where I should start or some basic checks?

Re: Cold starting/running problems
Sounds like you have to adjust the choke rod or the vacuum break for the choke.
