Take a look at what's wrong and get it fixed!
Git R' DUN!!!!! Maybe before you take it out again you should give the engine a thorough inspection. Get a piece of paper and pencil and write down everything you find, and then fix the problems one by one. Look for loose fasteners, bolts, loose wiring/terminals. Oil leaks/fuel/water. Inspect the hoses, belts, and plug wires. Go over every square inch, and make a list. Then get R fixed. Check all of your servicing too. Engine oil and fuel, and transmission, along with battery and terminals. You'll learn a little, get a few things fixed, and have fun in the process! |

the carb number is 0437. but the original one was 2196. is there something wrong? I thought when you get another carb the numbers are suppose to match or is that just when you get a rebuild kit? anyway i've been trying to fix the problem and the stuff i've been told to do has not corrected the problem at all. i did see where the thermostatic coil spring looked a little worn would that have anything to do with my sencondaries not opening? |

Yes,
Your thermostatic spring pulls the choke open as it warms up. If the spring is defective, the choke doesn't open. If the choke doesn't fully open then the secondaries are not available at any throttle position. Post a picture of the thermostatic spring. |

the reason why i say it could be the spring is because its pretty loose its the kind that is screwed into the intake manifold. their is no adjustment to it.screws on and off. im not even sure if i can get it off it looks like the original? ill try to get some pics taken of it

By your description, it sounds like the root of your problem, or at least a start!!! Take a picture, and soak it down with penetrating oil that creeps. You'll get it off. Patients!

Well...I saw Jeff's problem in action today!It does look like what Skyhawkflyer is on it! After the engine ran for a few minutes...the choke plate was not opening.
I am not familar with that carb...but was wondering if the sping tention is adjustable? Also...can you convert it to an electric choke? |
