My 1.7 has these carbs on it. They have an electric choke so starting it up cold for the first time is quick and good. But i'll go driving around town... Stop at some stores for 10 minutes, and when I come back to start it up, how do I do so? Depress the gas pedal like the first start up? I usually just turn the key and it'll turn over forever but not fire until I pump the gas a lot, then it'll catch and idle extremely low and pop and bitch at you, and you have to rev it for around 20 seconds before it'll idle right... This is embarassing sometimes as I have a lot of pride in my car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) So, How are you supposed to start up after it's warm? Is there a certain way or is something screwed? Also.. there are sometimes some small pops of backfire, not huge blasts but just a small series of pops. I am wondering if this is normal?
Any help would be great. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Well, never fussed with those carbs. But I think the engine cools off enough for it not to run but the choke feels that the engine is warm enough and does not move the choke flaps. Is there a way to adjust the choke temp actuation threshold?
Ya ought to try it with 44IDF's. Actually things are better now that I bumped up to 55 idle jets and the Mallory ignition box. Plenty of gas and enough of a dual sparking fire ball to keep it lit. |
