Have a 383 stroker vette. I have a good feeling the reason for the hard start and stall every time is cause my choke valve won't close all the way. It is halfway open and will not budge. I tried to adjust it but nothing. Anyone know what to do? Thanks

Need way more info. Like what type of carb? What type of choke setup? A picture is always a good idea for us to look at also.

I don't know much about carburetors but I know it's a edelbrock 4 barrel. I have pictures. Do you want me to send it through email?

Look at post #7 in this thread.

The icon is in a different place on my browser but if you mouse over it, "insert image" is displayed. Click on that and it will post in your reply. That way everybody will be able to see the pictures.
