My questions are:  Do I have the chokes adjusted improperly or is it a  choke 
pull off problem?  Choke pull-offs are new and working.  What  is a good 
setting for the choke unloader adjustment?  The recommended  setting doesn't seem 
to open the chokes enough for an easy restart after being  flooded.   Thank 
you for your help. Dennis  Dorogi



Hi Dennis,
It's had to diagnose via the internet.....It sounds like your choke  
adjustment. But I suggest that you do some diagnosis to be sure.  First  would be to 
check the choke adjustments and freedom of motion. With the air  cleaners off , 
disconnect the clips and choke rods from the carburetors. See  that the 
chokes just close fully when you pull up on the choke rods and the rods  just enter 
the holes in the arms. Reconnect and check for non-binding movement.  Then 
check the pull-offs for proper opening of the choke plates. This is  involved, 
so follow the shop manual for this step. Then check the unloader  opening of 
the choke. This can be increased to about 1/2 inch. You can easily  check that 
the fast idle cams are being set visually or by usually by listening  for the 
click. 
Finally, next time you want to start the engine, remove the carb covers  
first and see what the fuel level is in the bowl. You may have levels that are  
too low due to evap or leaks or float settings. level should be about 0.7 inch  
from the top of the bowl.
