O.K. I am trying to get my '74 to run correctly. It takes forever to start. It starts and dies over and over 10-15 times before I can get it to finally idle. After it finally does idle for 30 sec. or so it'll die again 3 or 4 times. Then It'll finally idle steady. Once idling steady for a few minutes I can hit the throttle hard and it'll die. When it does.... It backfires thru the carb with either a puff of smoke, or a flame...it does this about 5-7 times. I have let it run for about 5 minutes. As I write this and just noticed that the idle went up a lot and is about 500-600 RPM's higher now and stays there. Any suggestions??? !!!!Update!!!!. I now went out and it revs up fine. No hesitation at all. I turned the idle down to about 800RPMs Sounds like a choke problem to me, but how do I fix it if it is. I can't wait for this thing to start for 15-20 minutes every time i drive her.
Any tips.
Thanks Much,
