<div>Thanks, What can I do? I’ll try leaning in out and a hotter plug (12 series). Add upper cylinder lubricate? I did a compression test (1-6 cylinders): 103,105,100,125,120,75. Number six with a squirt of oil read 85. It runs strong otherwise, but needs the choke to start.</div><div><div><br></div><div>I haven’t adjusted the valves. I think it just needs cleaned out and run to be reliable. Thanks again. </div>Steve Hughes<br></div><div data-signatureblock="true"><div><br></div><div>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>next time before starting but after sitting , pull a plug or three and check for oil soak . you may have leaky valve seals . ask me how i know . . .<br> ztr6<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>My 73 has HS6 carbs. I need the choke to start, but once started I can relieve the choke immediately. The problem is the plugs foul quickly. <br><br>As long as I run the car, the plugs don't foul. I think it's just the startups and not running the car when I move it around in and out of the garage, etc, that causes the carbon to build up.<br><br>Should I lean the carbs more? I always thought the choke should be relieved gradually until the car warms up. Do I need a mixture meter?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Steve Hughes<br>Gainesville, FL<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div>
