I had a lot of trouble the other day getting my engine to start. I eventually had to enrich each barrel to get it to fire up then lean it out a bit to smooth my idle a bit after it warmed up. Is there a way to choke these carbs initially to prevent this? Is there an easier way to start the engine when cold?

when properly tuned, just a few pumps on the accelerator pedal should bring it to life on the coldest of mornings. and a few minutes of nursing to keep it alive is perfectly acceptable. we are enthusiast drivers, not just steering wheel holders. we understand that using these high performance carburetors we have to give up the choke. so we deal with the popping, farting, hissing, and evil glares from our neighbors. until we reach operating temperature, then you better get the hell outta the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
