Re: rough starting

How are the choke and choke pull-off assembly adjusted for your climate?

Re: rough starting

Your choke is too rich.
Adjust the choke pull off.

Have not touched choke since I received carb from rebuild shop,was engine tested I was told. However your ideal sound's like the best place for me to start. I was getting gas fume's in cab,not from gas tank. Now I get to learn a few thing's about quadrajet choke's. THANK'S FOR THE TIP. I WILL LET YOU HOW THIS TURN'S OUT RON

Re: rough starting

Easy to find where your choke blade has to be set at.
While it’s warming up just move the blade by hand and find the spot where the idle smooths out. Then adjust the linkage to it.

And before you start bending linkages take a pic of your choke for us. Might be a simple screwdriver adjustment.
