...and more fiddling. When I picked this truck up, it started and ran fantastically, even in temperatures approaching zero. Lately, however, it has NOT been happy until warmed up, chugging, stumbling, missing and (literally) choking. After some research, I found a bad choke pull-off. Amazingly hard to find little piece. Had to special order it through NAPA--most other LAPS just looked at me funny. Even better, when asking for a choke thermostat, the guy asked me what temperature I wanted
She's back starting/running well now, but
loudly, as I have the muffler and tailpipe dropped to get replaced. The muffler was rotten at the joints and the tailpipe was just plain ugly, so I had the local exhaust shop bend up a replacement. Will stick it in tomorrow and hopefully get back to driving this beast
