Hi Ray. The vehicle is a 1970 BBB. I was able to get the choke to open up all the way now. I fiddled with it, and it has been fine. I will keep an eye on it. Regards, John.
Forum ~ I'm knew to the forum & have a question about the choke blade in my 1964 Wildcat (425 Nailhead). Each time I start cold, I am greeted with only the "er, er, er..." of the starter & no vroooom at the end. I try this routine a couple times using various pumps of the accelerator but, to no avail. I usually end up under the hood having to remove the air cleaner housing to reveal the carburetor. I usually notice the blade postion as not quite verticle (45 degree angle, perhaps..) Only when I manipulate the blade by hand (with the helpful assistance of my wife at the helm) is the CAT able to start. I've been reading your thread & am by no stretch of the imagination, "a mechanic." However, I am willing to learn or as a last resort, :dollar: someone to do the repair while I observe. I've no idea what kind of choke assembly I have. As far as I know, the engine is all stock. I will post a :kodak: of the carburetor/choke location on my next post (under the assumption I can figure out how to post a photo.)ray: I would appreciate any assistance in helping me to resolve this matter w/o having to hire a mechanic (if at all possible). I do have all the various body & chassis manuals for the car. The manual doesn't specifically instruct how to troubleshoot the problem I seem to be experiencing. I anxiously await your response(s). ~ Madeleine (aka - Patrick) :Comp:
