Sticky Choke ?
Have the car on the road after a complete mechanical restoration
and find that the idle does not drop until well after the engine reaches
is full operating temperature. It idles as 1200-1400 rpm even when
the temp gauge is up to 180 ??
Sticky choke ? Something else ?
The car has side pipes and it's loud enough without sitting at a red
light when the car is at temperature and the idle is still at 1200-1400
Help ...
thanks,
Dave

i agree, work it by hand and loosen screws until it quits binding. mine has worked well since i did this.

Thanks guys... will try the 'adjustment' and see how it goes.
I backed off the idle just a bit and that seemed to have helped
get the car back to normal idle rpm after warm up. Why a slight
idle adjustment (I mean 1/8" turn down) would help the choke
is beyond me.
