update,
I ended up having to take the autochoke off the carb. and boil the copper spring to set it properly. after that, I was able to adjust the carb. fine, Got it to Idle between 850-950. only problem was that the seal on the auto choke tore and I had coolant leaking. so, I had to replace that and now it has been a couple days and I tried to start the car up, and I can't get it started again! At least, I can't get it to stay running. no matter how I adjust any of the adjusting screws. As I try to start the engine, I can get it to start by raising the air valve about half way, then as it turns over, I"ll accelerate it but not getting any high RPM's. As soon as I let the air valve down, It bogs down and dies, even with it accelerated.
to adjust the carb., I followed the description from in the latest MOSS catalog. I checked my autochoke again and it seems to be working properly. I pulled the spark plugs again and cleaned them up. they are still getting spark.
Please help, what could my problem be?
thanks,
joel
