Rochester B carb

Is there a better alternative to the Rochester B carb. I had it rebuilt but after the initial cold start in the morning I have trouble restarting it. The manual choke will close fully, but will not open back up in a smooth fashion. I'd like to improve overall performance so I have no problem converting to a 2 bbl if necessary. I checked in at Langdons Stovebolt but he only offers conversion kits for Carter to Weber carbs. Thanks in advance. Paul

Re: Rochester B carb

Difficult to tell in your text, but the manual choke should stay in whatever position you put it in. When I start mine, when cold, I use full choke and as soon as it fires, I move it to about half or until it runs smooth. On hot starts, I just use about 1/4 choke or none at all. These model B's are pretty bullet proof if rebuilt correctly.
