Disappointed,

This humorous discussion made me remember when I bought a Javelin 4 bbl 343 V8 for my wife to drive. It drove fine for me but every time she took it out it died a few miles from home and when I got off work I had to go get it, it started right up and ran fine. After a few times of this it came to me. The heat riser tube to the choke was missing. When I drove, (more aggressively than she) I would just rev it to clear it out when it stumbled without thinking about it. She on the other hand putted along until it flooded and died and would not restart for her. By the time I got to it, it was dried up and ready to go. I installed a new brass tube from the manifold to the choke and all was well in our household again.
