Re: [T3] Carb Question

["Ron Arnold" <type3@bellsouth.net>]

well as per the manual it says to first depress the gas then try to start so
that the ummmm throttle lever sits on the top notch , well i do this it all
works well but it seems like the  choke ummm heater element is not working
right , as it does heat up you can feel it but it does not close the choke ,
the choke by hand moves fine and yes its stock solex ,
temp is umm around 60 in the morning
