<x-charset iso-8859-1>>I still believe that if someone is qualified to fix the modern FI systems that are 10 times more complex than ours, troubleshooting ours should be Cake!... if they have trouble, find a new mechanic! theres nothing I cant fix in 5 minutes. I remembered another negative about carbs this morning, I drove the Notch today and when I came out of the store 5 minutes after parking it the chokes had already started to close and it ran like crap for the first mile or 2... Ive followed advice and even removed the choke plates but here in NY, or anywhere it goes below 60 or so youll end up starting the car 6 or 7 times without some choke, this is unaccepable to me. There are those who seem to do better but I think the cars that always start well cold without chokes are running way too rich to begin with, which is what I usually see with aftermarket carb setups.
