Good idea to replace the bi-metal spring, they can fatigue. DO NOT drop that
drill bit! Like Pete said set the air gap dead cold. |

Yeah that is what I am thinking, I keep having to adjust it to being slightly open, looks to be between 1/8" and 1/4", thanks for the drill bit tip. Guess I will order a new choke coil and go from there. Spring cleaning day but spring just wants to show up 1 day then go back to another 5 days of winter

Jake,
When cold, the choke plate should be almost closed but not completely. Adjust it so you can stick a 1/8" diameter drill bit between it and the throat then go from there. Getting a new choke coil wouldn't be a bad idea ether. Considering it's opening, it sounds like you are getting the volts to it with the ignition turned on but, you may want to check it anyway. |

Everytime from a cold start I have to adjust the choke. It is completely closed before adjustment. It opens as it should after adjustment but then the next day or even several hours later from a cold start it will be completely closed again. Anybody have any ideas?
