[QUOTE="Coda, post: 630305, member: 31747"] Do you not first put your foot all the way done on the accelerator before easing it off and cranking. This does two things: 1) squirts a jet of fuel directly into the carb (overdoing this floods the engine, of course) 2) Latches the accelerator to fast idle until the engine warms at which point it releases. Assuming you've got solex carbs, theres a diaphram behind a cover that controls (2), has this slipped out of adjustment or the rubber perished? To test, when engine is cold, press the accelerator all the way down and go have a look at the carb. It should have latched open on the stepped arm on the throttle body. You can probably test (1) by pulling the accelerator arm and listening for the jet of fuel. [/QUOTE]
