Re: Still Chasing Carb Gremlins
So then it's running like normal with no heat in the intake.
Not a problem if you let it heat soak.
When I start mine I listen to hear it start to slow down and run rough. I shut it off, go for a 5 minute wait and fire it up again. The 5 minute wait lets the heat rise from the oil and the lifter valley and heat up the intake plenum. You need heat to keep the fuel vaporized. If it gets cool it reverts back to a liquid and puddles in the intake. THen as you start to drive it keep your ears open for the sound of more rough running. Colder air coming into the carb cools the intake again. Usually it'll straighten out after a good soak in a mile.
Just the nature of the beast when you have an unheated intake.
