engine won't run off of choke

<< < (2/2)

rookie:
Thanks for the help. I have the carbs off and will disassemble and soak them in carb cleaner tonight. Prior to taking them off I put some lucas fuel additive in the tank and ran it some more. I did get it to run without the choke but not very well at all. I'm still chasing it as a carb problem as you all have suggested. Makes perfect sense to me. By the way I am on the other side of the pond over in Illinois, USA. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I disassembled the carbs and soaked them in carb cleaner for 24 hours. Rinsed them off and blew compressed air through every hole I could, then reassembled the carbs. Put them back on and the thing idles without the choke after it is warmed up. I still need to balance them but I am really close to having this thing back on the road after 27 years. Thanks again.
