Now you need to check it when it's hot to make sure it's wide open

Should closed or very nearly so.
GM's recomended way of starting a Quad "when cold" is: press the accelerator to the floor once-release--then start. Twice is ok, but more than that and it's not adjusted right. If it's set a few days and needs severe pumping--the fuel is leaking off somewhere and you're actually refilling the float bowl. A traditional Quadrajet failing. Some people even put an electric pump in tandem with the mechanical--running the electric for a few seconds before starting to fill the bowl, then letting the mechanical take over. ![]()

I don't have any problems starting my truck. It fires right up, I just didn't realize the choke plate SHOULD be fully closed not fully open like mine is. And since it starts do I leave well enough alone or get it right?
