Not sure if this helps or not... but for years I had to play around with the choke to keep the engine from dying.
<div>Even after rebuilding the carbs and I think I even took it to a shop for adjustments. <br>
<div>Then, during a complete carb rebuild and thorough testing I discovered one of the temp comp. was stuck. I had a spare (they are now available new at Moss, but not at the time) and it made my car run like a champ!</div>
<div>FYI,</div>
<div>To check those buggers, you have to use hot water and a thermometer. <br>
<br>
But maybe you have other issues. Or several. It is maddening for sure. </div>

<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>I haven’t adjusted the valves. I think it just needs cleaned out and run to be reliable. Thanks again. </div>

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>

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>
