Re: Carb issues with secondaries

Your main problem is you don't have a choke coil on it according to the photos. There should be a pot metal piece with a thermo coil & a cover. It goes on the plateform on the intake with a screw that holds it down. It has a rod that goes up to the sloted hole in the lever. Like Handy shows in his photo. His coil has been replaced by a electric choke conversion kit. I don't know if that is still available. I like to find late 70's early 80's Q-jets with the electric choke, if you are not concerned about #'s matching.
Ive never seen one with that larger tube size. The fitting from another carb will replace it with 3/8 size.
