Re: Still Chasing Carb Gremlins
I dunno... sounds like a completely normal cold weather carb start up to me. These old rigs with carbs are NOTHING like modern FI rigs.
Even setting the fast idle by stepping on the pedal and starting it up it can and will labor a little bit during cold weather.
What distributor do you have? If an HEI make sure the spark plug gaps are opened up to .045
