Well, to start with, I am far from being a carburetor expert.....I rececently bought my 1984 c10------mildly modded 305....cam, edelbrock 1406 carb and manifold....headers, duels.....when cold, it cranked right up!...would press the gas about halfway, let go, and crank it---choke kicked in....(electric choke---non emissions carb).....
......now, that was a few weeks ago...nights now are only getting to low 40's, maybe upper 30's......I go to start, and it is like the electric choke is not kicking in for some reason.....
Should I start it cold giving it some gas? Start it cold with no gas? ( a few weeks ago, when very cold, I would press the gas pedal about halfway, and release, and then start and I could tell the electric choke was kicking in)....now, I can give it gas, and release, no gas...whatever----doesn't matter, it is as if the electric choke is not working
...........it seems to work best now with starting with my pressing the gas pedal about 1/4 way and holding.......just doesn't seem right.....any ideas anyone?
