[Tigers] Carb install - at least it's not leaking

[Ron Fraser]

	My Holley Haynes Techbook does not list this problem.
Something in the idle circuit is not right.

Check to see if the secondary throttle plates are closed

Vacuum choke? - Are you sure its usually vacuum secondaries
Choke is normally electric or heat stove pipe style with bi-metal spring

check to make sure there are no vacuum leaks

Vacuum choke. Good idea though. Thanks.

Is that an electric choke? Have you confirmed that power is going to it?
