Carb Adjustment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BanjoDude** · 07-09-2023, 07:37 PM

Well...I thought I was doing a good thing and adjusted the carbs after refreshing the ignition (points, condenser, cap, rotor, wires - plugs on order). However, I clearly don't know what I'm doing, because while it runs like a top when I first start it, it's a bear to start after it's warm. I've double checked timing, and that's dead on, so I'm thinking it must have been messing with the carb that did it. It ran great before I did that... I suppose no good deed goes unpunished. Any tips on how to better adjust things? It's a stock 2 barrel on a 307 in my 69 C20. Thanks! -Wes
