I have a rebuilt Autolite 4 barrel. I look at the choke and it's slightly open. I never adjust the screws at all.
I have checked for vacuum leaks and I am pretty sure it's air tight.
How big of a difference does the heat tube make ? I have the heater hose next to the choke like it's suppose to be.
Is there a hose to release the air coming up from the heat tube ? Cause I don't see a connection for that.
What is causing the choke plate to do that ?
- I put the carb on but I realize that my heat tube coming off the exhaust manifold is rusted and broke off.
- I get the car to start but it idles rough, I pull the throttle linkage and the choke plate snaps completely closed and the idle goes up (a little to fast of an idle)
- I pull the throttle linkage back again and the choke plate resets to an opening of 1/4" (estimate) and it idles rough.
- I can repeat the above last two steps.
- I let it idle roughly for a few minutes and it dies completely.
- I can't get it to restart until I let it sit for a while.
