Any AFB gurus here?
Need some help with the choke on the Buick. If it sits long enough for the carb bowl to dry out, it takes for-frickin-ever to get it running. A couple of pumps will usually get it to kick over, but then it's literally 2 minutes of crank-catch-feather the gas-stumble-die-rinse-repeat. I haven't found anything in the linkage that's bound up or falling off.
The choke dial was about four notches towards lean when I got the car. It's now back to the centerline, but no real difference. The brass fitting holds a length of aluminum tubing that grabs heat off the pass exhaust manifold. The second pic shows a length of vac hose that goes nowhere. (it's on the air cleaner stud just as a visual) It's above the bowl, so I assume that it's just a vent, but I'm open to answers. Question 1: Where's a good place to start with the choke? Question 2: What's up with the 12" vac line to nowhere? Thanks guys. Loren
