Maybe I'm lazy but I didn't want to figure out how to bend the springs back to their 'normal' tension (yes, I have tried that before unsuccessfully). From observing the single choke on my brand-new-carbureted Single Cab, I let the car warm up all the way, then let it cool for around 5 minutes. I then turned the chokes until they were just slightly closed, maybe 15% of the way, which is actually one 'notch' on the fast idle cam inside the choke, you could figure out what that looks like out prior to doing this. It then started a lot better when hot and prevented hesitation when cold. Of course, you might want to verify that the choke elements work at all before you try this process, especially if you have a 6-volt Type 3. If any of that did not make sense, point out the confusing parts and I will elaborate. >You should be afraid, from what I've know of the weirdo PO's for >your Type 2's.
