Wow... Did Ron just pull back a curtain?Originally Posted by Ron
Yeah, but to warm it up, he has to get it started, which seems to be the problem ;-)
I'm with you on the circle trackers. But they and most other racer carbs are far from stock, not to mention they usually don't move around much until it's warmed up, and after that, they don't know what idling at 750 RPM is ;-)
If the rod is off, I'd assume it's is wired open??
Maybe he shouldn't have messed with it after you set it up...

Congerz83 didn't say that the choke plate was wired open -- only that it had been disconnected from the operating mechanism. For all we currently know it could be flopping back & forth in the breeze. Either way, without a properly functioning choke, his engine is definitely going to be difficult to start and drive until warmed up, any other potential misadjustments notwithstanding.
His best option at this point is to find someone familiar with whichever carburetor he is using to reset it from scratch.
