Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Well, if you pull on the choke knob, it should pull the little lever which closes the choke plate inside the carburetor, thus "choking" to bring more gas on a cold start, and visa versa. Pull the air cleaner off, have someone work the choke and you see what's actually going on under the hood. It's quite a simple thing. You might check for vacuum leaks. I can imagine the single barrel carburetor might need attention; though simple, sure can make for some running problems.
I did watch the video I had a similar problem with the 6 cylinder that was in my truck from the start. I got it to run, but ran crappy. Now I have a nice running sbc.
Keep analyzing, you'll get there!

I've driven it occasionally, it dies when I push the choke in, watch the video and you'll see what happens to it
