Re: [Amc-list] Choke frozen (literally)

["Graham, George W (GE Infra, Energy)" <george.graham@xxxxxx>]

I've run into 2 carbs over the years that had a similar issue (choke
open cold, and closed hot).   On these, some goober had installed the
wrong choke coil (uncoiled the wrong way).   Just something else to
check.

When it stalls on the street, pop off the choke housing w/o turning. Is
the lever stuck? Did you separately test the bi-metal? Bic lighter
works.

Carbs are subtle; loose fits, gravity weights, sometimes parts get too
worn to work right. Sometimes you gotta pull shafts to clean w/gun
brushes, and if they're badly scored, can't really be repaired.
