I FINALLY DID IT !!!
« on: September 02, 2008, 10:17:14 am »

Pulled electric wire off my choke this AM. What a difference. No hesitation or sputtering when the engine is cold. THANKS JACK.   
Now if I can remember to hook it back up in cold weather.javascript:void(0);
I like it when Jack gives good advise, which 110% of the time.

  Well, that is different!   - do you need a new selenoid for the carb?

dad i would check the muir book, i think there is more to it than just pulling the choke wire off, if that was the case i would have done it months ago. look up disabling the choke in the muir book, he talks about adjusting the choke flap so it is in the open pos. otherwise i think you are running rich. how far did you drive? did you give it enough time to see how it runs when hot?  2CENTS 2CENTS

Jim, I must have been drunk when I told you to just pull the choke wire off.  c23 And I don't drink ???

Greg is right  in this case. :icon_cheers:

If you pull the wire off the choke,  the choke is always on and if it runs better that way I would think your main jet was partly cloged and the choke being on would pull more gas for it to run better. I really wouldn't recomend running the car that way. Or your spray jet is cloged causing the hesitation.

 When did I tell you to do this question?sign
