Well, being 23 I'm a little behind the carb generation, so my 79 has been a learning experience as I'm used to working on EFI. Anyway, since I purchased the car it has run like crap until it gets to 185, I always had to 2 foot it until it warmed up or it would die.

little older than you but my problem is opposite. im used to the carbs and now am learning fuel injection for my 90.  even though its learn as you go, the one thing to remember is that you can usually get answers to your questions right here. whether its my 75 or 90, i have always found someone willing to share their knowledge and help.

defseqx,  glad you got it figured out and thanks for info.  Those automatic chokes can be nasty little critters..  I once had a Dodge, never did get the automatic choke to work right, so I put in an old fashion manual choke.

GET RID OF THE CHOKE. SORRY  I COULD NOT RESIST. I MYSELF DO`NT HAVE A CHOKE. THOUGH I DO NOT HAVE THE COLD WEATHER ISSUES. I PUMP IT  START IT AND HOLD THE THROTTLE FOR A COUPLE MIN. TO WARM UP. 

Hey Josh, we are all learning here every day.

Chokes can be tricky even for old guys like me so don't feel bad about it taking so long. Hell, the fact that you fixed it is quite an accomplishment. Redwingvette2008-05-21 13:57:21
