Choke thermostat problem
Hi all
I installed a freshly rebuilt Carter BBS carb on my slant six and it works well
But, I have a problem with the choke thermostat.
I purchased one brand new on Ebay some months ago and of course, I installed it on the new carb.
I precise that I've never used this thermostat before.
,
Cold engine, it closes the choke flap with no problem.
But with a hot engine, the rod doesn't pull sufficiently on the flap and this one doesn't open a lot. It stays nearly closed.
How do these thermostats work? I suppose that when the exhaust manifold is hot, the spring fully retracts and pulls on the choke flap.
This one doesn't seem to work correctly and it's not adjustable.
So, what's the problem?
Are the thermostats for Carter BBS and Holley 1920 the same?
:thankyou:
