Re: Carter AFB electric choke - heated element fail?

Thanks geezer and paul - you are both right on.

geezer - We have been here at 8,000 ft. elevation for 18 years and normally I factor that issue into carb float settings - need to get back in there to check everything and correct anything I might have messed up in that cleaning/re-set.

I normally run a bit more advance due to elevation, but seems like the optimal degrees before TDC has varied with the different engines. Paul - certainly will check the rotor contact and other contacts as well when I look into the timing.

Have been trying to get a re-worked C20 going and off the lift (need to drive it to civilization Tuesday for a windshield replacement and tire changes) - that and unusually cold morning/evening temp conditions have taken attention away from this 69 K20 carb (or other) problem.

It's a good thing these are not big issues in life right now. Thanks for your thoughts - will be back here when I know something significant.
