Calibrating The Electric Choke

- This is the first time I've seen this.. Dad showed me that dial on the left has to be loosened up, but can be adjusted up and down to adjust the choke. He tinkered around with this for a long time to get the mixture just right.

I´m wondering about the comments whoch claim that the engine is hot. Have a look into the manual from Edelbrock:
"CHOKE ADJUSTMENT
The length of time during which the choke will stay closed is determined
by the position of the choke cap. As the choke cap is turned clockwise
the choke will stay closed longer. To properly set the choke, loosen
the choke cap retaining screws and turn the choke cap to the leanest
notch on the choke housing. Tighten the choke cap retaining screws,
and run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
With the engine running, slowly turn the choke cap clockwise until the
choke valve begins to close. Now turn the choke housing one notch
counterclockwise (LEAN) and tighten the choke housing retaining
screws. Periodic readjustment of the choke will be required as the
temperature changes throughout the year. After each adjustment verify
that the choke valve opens fully after the engine is warm.
Fast idle may be adjusted to manufacturers specifications (usually
1500 rpm) during normal choke cold operation. The fast idle screw
can be adjusted with engine off and throttle held open to allow screw
head access. Recheck fast idle speed after each adjustment."
"exactly how not to set the choke"
When the engine is this hot, the choke hast to be 100% open!! Oh boy....
I find ya get better results when you set the choke when the engine is fairly cold... that way the spring on the inside isn't heated up and released. That top butterfly should be wide open when the engine is warm. If it runs better with the butterfly closed a little, I suspect a vacuum leak somewhere... Sounds to me like the timing needs to be advanced just a tad too.
Yeah, it had a leak in the gas line, that we replaced, then we had to run it to blow out the old gas.
@@StuffIHeard : then reset it with a cold engine.
yep
This guy doesn't know what he's doing.
1- choke is adjusted on a COLD engine.
2- his adjustment is wrong
Can you tell me if i remove the choke is it on or off
My choke is broken
So i dont know shoud i remove it and leave the little hole open or close it
@@hardendurobosnia17 Rempve the chocke cap.
Then you can either replace it or just zip tie the choke lever to the open position.
Looks shitty but worked on my car for 2 years because the cap melted (carb fire)
If the cap still is intact, you also could just turn it until it is fully open when cold and hot.
he sure dont ...he dont even have a clue ..video is a wast of time..
Start over, when the engine is COLD....
Don't follow this video. Only set your choke on a STONE COLD engine otherwise you'll NEVER get it right! The whole throttle blipping thing at the end of this video has absolutely nothing to do with your choke, cold idling, starting etc. This guy is chasing two problems at once and looking at the wrong solution - Do not use your choke while hot to fix a lean WOT hesitation. Instead - adjust your choke when cold, and then get your accelerator pump and/or low jets tuned correctly (Start with your low jet at gentle/slow throttle swings, and then adjust your accelerator pump DEAD LAST for those quick throttle bursts)
Thanks. Good advice. My Dad was helping. He's an old hotrodder. No rules for them, they just figure things out.
Agee, this is the “ How Not To Adjust Choke” video.
How NOT to calibrate electric choke.
"Use the thing"
"You use the thing"
😂
we are so technical around here. :)
Set the choke
when it’s cold
You should set the choke 1st thing in the morning while the engine is cold.
noted.
just do the opposite of this video and you'll be all set
that's weird, your distributors on the opposite side of the motor
Runnin' good now.
like the eye of the tiger, or the bee on a bonnet.
I was wondering why he was trying to adjust the choke plate on a hot engine. That fast idle screw is totally different than the fuel/air mixture screws. When he revs it i can tell its a vacuum or slight timing problem. But i can see some others commented on it. I love the old school stuff too.
yeah, he loves tinkering with it. It had set still for a while when I tried to re-wire the fuse box.
he got a lot to learn my brother..
Do it without motor running
This was still runnin' old gas ... After we put some fresh in it we set it again and she ran a lot better.
More gratuitous Rambler videos to come... stay tuned!
I want to see a backfire
Why won't it close!?!? Engine's hot, it's not supposed to be closed
Setting the choke when the engine is warm and even running? Adjusting the choke beyond the markings is a good way to damage it. Good luck.
well dang, we could have used your help that day... I just watched my Dad (rpeek on TH-cam) mess with it..
Yep, that why car guys have cars.
You said it Rusty. :)
Is anyone going to tell the people watching how to adjust the choke
What's the difference between a manual choke and an electronic choke
A manual choke has a cable that runs inside the cab and is operated by the driver. Electric is mounted on the carb & works on its own.
Im having that same problem, is it a 1406?
sorry I don't remember, long ago.. car's gone..
No gauge or fast idle adjustment
Engine must be cold!!!!!!!
heads up get those sun spots on your left arm cheched im a red head & thay look nasty
yep.. all over... worked outside all my life...doc says they're normal.
this dude is closing the joke after the engine is warmed!!! hahahaahhaahhaahaahaahahahaha
dont set that hot
You cannot set an electric choke while the engine is warm or hot it will not calibrate properly must be set cold.
good to know... passing along for others to read.
Lol @ rtv job on t stat
🤔 I don’t think they’re doing it right 😂🤣😂🤣
nope, we weren't ... it's back with Dad now...
ouch. not correct.
That battery is garbage. I will never buy another one of those
it has a warranty. They honored it.
@@StuffIHeard true but everyone I got went bad within warranty. I agree though but after a few swaps they get aggravated to do another warranty swap
the choke is wide open because its warm. why the hell are you adjusting the pod? you have no clue what you're doing obviously. wow this is cringe worthy hard core.
Your supposed to set full open hot, and just near closed when cold, this video sucks, no narative!
video is a wast of time
Useless.
