there is no dashpot but there is an air hose that goes from top area of the secondaries to the bottom of the choke housing. It's working fine now and pretty soon the hot weather will be back and this problem stops. So, thanks again for your help.
Just to close this thread out, I adjusted the choke open to this position and engine fired right up on this cold 50 degree morning. The plate cannot get closed any more than this position no matter how cold it gets. Thanks to all for the help.
Thanks Cranky, I'm experimenting with that now thanks to the suggestions from several posts above. Winter in phoenix area of arizona is much different (milder) than most other states. Cold here is not the same as real cold. I just have to find that happy medium.
Thanks, I was asking that question as a correlation to the engine temp. when the electric choke heats up enough to release the fast idle cam, not that the engine heat controls that function.
Yeah, I only have this problem when it's cold here at night. I think my problem is I have set the choke valve too closed for 40 degree mornings and need to find the proper amount of opening that will work at that temp. In other words, I am choking off too much air that is needed for a good...
We do get night temps in the mid 40s, some mid 30s, and once in a while the high 20s and the daytime temps can be 65-70. Should I be setting the choke valve to completely closed for 45* start or do you think it should be partial open?
When setting up an electric choke, what ambient temp. would you expect the choke valve to be completely closed and what engine temp. would you like to see the fast idle cam come off the adjustment screw? Thanks
This is 1st time I've ever used a clear plastic filter and I have used it for a couple of years now. I got it so I can see how much crap has accumulated. From the beginning I noticed their was air in the filter but the engine seemed to run ok. Is it normal to observe this condition or is this a...
rebuilding this carb and need help on this question. How do you set the spring on this assembly. I know how all the pieces fit on the shaft but I can't figure out how to load the spring. I've seen pictures of it installed but have no idea how to pull the spring far enough to get it on the...
Has anyone been able to use the 9266 carb. gasket on a 383 stock (666) intake and a Carter 9
series carb ? This is a spread bore carb and the 9266 states it's for 4 bore square carbs. They don't seem to offer any other divided gasket for spread bore design.
Also, I read at the edelbrock site...
