One of the things I forgot to mention is that the carb body through screws may be loose (if they are, you will be able to twist the top 1/2 of the carb which means the carb comes off to tighten the ones up from the bottom) I run into that very often (I was surprised my Eagle carb wasn't loose, but the needle seat was along with the line and leaking fuel!) Subject: Re: [AMC-list] choke on Carter BBD 8302S on AMC 1981 Spirit 6 cyl 258 Message-ID: <B988985A03134B8A81463CC5E38F2725@George> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" You can replace the pull-off and choke thermostat on the car, tho one or two of the thermostat screws may be hard to get to with the carb on the car. Give it a try. You should be able to get the thermostat -- the Wells/Airtex part number is 2C1007. Note you will only have power to the choke wire with the engine running (circuit goes thru the oil sender unit circuit). Once you have them installed and adjusted, reset everything else per the AMC IS-12e service letter. I'll email you a copy of that separately.
