hi
i have a 1985 Gs 12a
when the car is cold it starts right up
after it warms up i still have to use the choke to get it started. and then if i do this to much it will flood. anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
thanks
Don

If you give it a quick pump wit the gas pedal will it start easier?

when i just pumping the gas pedal, it doesnt ever seem to start
i usally have to choke it. to get it started

Hows your ignition system? Heat raises resistance and can cause a marginal ign sys to be weak. Also, have you changed your fuel filter lately?

On the carb itself, when its warm, before you try to start it, look and see where the float level is, you may be boiling out the fuel when its sitting after you shut it off.

Hi Carl
thanks for the replies
this may sound dumb but how do i check and see if the floats are dry?

Theres windows on front and back sides (yours may be covered in years of crud). Look in the manual, youll see pics of them. The proper level is midway in the window with the car level.
