Not real worried, but shouldn't it start w/o it?
I adjusted the idle so it wouldn't keep chugging after the ignition is turned off.
Any ideas on the cold start? |
I need to adjust the idle on my 305E but unlike Chevy's 2BBL Rochester carbs, this original GMC 2BBL Stromberg carb does not seem to have an idle screw that I can see on the side linkage attached to the gas pedal - so where on yours did you find an adjustment screw?
