Sent you a text but I'll post it here for group knowledge.

If the carb isnt from that truck the choke may need to be adjusted. this is done so by breaking loose the three screws on the retaining flange for the coolant section, you wont lose any coolant and you will see a series of 5 dash marks on the top, carb side and one detent cirlce on the coolant choke side, it's designed to be adjusted within the small range but I've had to go an entire rotation before (at which case you'll need to pop the coolant lines off for a minute and will lose coolant)

The second thing is the make sure that choke butterfly is moving FREELY and by freely I mean it should move if you touch it, no pressure needed to push the butterfly open if there's any resistance at all, you've got some gummed up varnish to clean. So if there's resistance, expect to spend the day cleaning your shaft.

But hey, isnt that what sundays are for? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
