Till tomorrow. Good luck
Well I think you are right, that seems to fit a lot of the symptoms.
Took 3 pictures as requested, 1 is cold, 2 is after depressing gas pedal, and 3 is with truck running (after it warmed up cause I couldn't keep it running while cold to take a picture). I tested my pull-off and it does seem to hold vacuum pressure. I don't think my divorced choke rod is long enough or not installed properly?
But I need to let you look at the pictures and try to diagnose. Again, the truck starts right up but runs terrible. Runs pretty good after driving 5 minutes but still rich smell of gas.
Thanks to everyone who offers their opinion. I appreciate all input.
