  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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..) :confused: 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.):pray:

    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).
