Re: rough starting
Is there a thermostat installed?
What temp thermostat? Timing set to? Type of distributor?

Re: rough starting
How are the choke and choke pull-off assembly adjusted for your climate?

Re: rough starting
Your choke is too rich.
Adjust the choke pull off. |

Re: rough starting
Easy to find where your choke blade has to be set at.
While it’s warming up just move the blade by hand and find the spot where the idle smooths out. Then adjust the linkage to it. And before you start bending linkages take a pic of your choke for us. Might be a simple screwdriver adjustment. Last edited by geezer#99; 11-14-2018 at 07:10 PM. |
