Questionwhen i start the truck, i have to keep pressing the gas to keep it running, cant just press the gas cause it still idle itself down, do i need a new carb, or have someone adjust this one?
AnswerTim,
Sorry, I have no easy answer because there are many things which can cause idle problems:
- Vacuum leaks/bad seals
- Clogged jets
- Misadjustment
- Stuck choke
- Bad timing
- Bad compression
- Bad plugs/wires
I would first look for the easy stuff, like a vacuum hose leak or a stuck choke. Otherwise, it might be best to just do a tuneup, then check compression, then rebuild the carburetor if required.
