Thermoquad tuning on 318

It starts out really, really bad, getting slightly better as the engine warms up. Its hard to say about the ambient temp, but that does seem to be a factor.

Most people I know here in LA don't run chokes and say they don't have problems, so I think I'm just running much too lean anyhow.

i think the choke may be a factor. it's likely not the only factor, but it is part of the whole picture.

everybody i know here in LA that daily's anything runs a choke. it's only the fun summer time burger cruiser guys that generally don't, but for all my clients i tell 'em to run a choke.

there's also the fact that two weeks ago it was 100+ and dry and now it's much cooler and damp. so again, not the only issue, but a consideration.

i think you're headed in the right direction. see if you can dial in your advance/curve better. how do the plugs look?
