Rough Restart

edb_app said
So i experimented with the choke today (man did it take a long time to warm up!). A couple of times when restarting it was a lot better than normal but other times it was the same old story. Im gonna take your advice about the fuel line and mess around with that next.

I just want to clarify. I need to buy a 5/16 steel fuel line, bend it, attach a metal fuel filter and than a efi hose from that. Have it go from the back of the alternator, over the top of the valve cover and have another 5/16 steel fuel line go from the hose to the carb?

Please let me know if this is the correct set up so I can go gather all these parts this week. Thanks!

ok so as far as re routing the fuel filter its 5/16 steel belt at like a 90 with a flare. then use 3 inches or so and attach the filter behind the alt. then fuel line ,rubber,steel,braided, whatever u want works, to the carb.

so back to the hot start issue! so we know that ur issue was effected by the choke but not fixed. so, let me make sure u have most everything up to par before going forth.

make sure the valves are adjusted properly to .020" exh and .010" int
clean/buy a new PCV valve and hose, the hose will crack or collapse and make a vacuum leak or rich condition
get some graphite spray and make sure the "flapper" in the exh manifold is loose and working
reset timing to 8* or so with distributor unplugged and hose plugged
set the screw for idle fuel (cant remember the name! grr) to about 1 1/2 out
set idle to 750 to 900 depending on how it runs with idle adjustment screw

so now it should be running pretty good.:cheers:

some things u should also replace if u havn't or in good shape are cap, rotor, wires, plugs champion single electrode!

so this will give a starting point.

also would check the egr valve on the exh manifold...

pm me for my email and i can send u pics with info
