Hot start assist
In my continuing effort to get my car started, I've noticed the PO has the spring and lever switched on the Nikki (on the cable coming from the hot start assist). I might have to pull the carb to correct this, but (in the meantime) was wondering if this would have any effect on my starting issue.
The hot start assist motor runs as soon as I plug it in.
thanks,
Stan

The trigger wire is supposed to be connected to the terminal on the starter solenoid which leads into the starter motor. This is only 'hot' when the starter is cranking and off the rest of the time. It sounds like maybe your trigger wire is on the other terminal which goes straight to the battery, thus running the hot start assist motor.
I don't really know how the connection on the Nikki goes. Ask Ray Green. He is the stockmeister.

the hot start, cruise, choke and throttle all have different cable ends. you can mix em, but they only really fit one way.

the hot start assist isnt really needed imo, one of the few parts i take off, and chuck into the woods
they also like to fail, so it can cause an inconsistent idle rpm
