86 BRAT idles low at start, dies, restart, idles high till you press the gas


Recommended Posts

So it doesn't really seem to be a problem, more than an an annoyance. When I start it the first time, it's only idling at like 400-500. It will stay like that, and if I press the gas hard enough it will bounce up to a normal idle and stay there like nothing was wrong, buyost of the time it will just die. Then, I start it again and it idles at 2000 till I press the gas and it will go back down to a normal 1000-ish and I have no problems from then on.

 

Is there something that is causing this? It's not cold out any more. Is this some weird carburator thing I'm not familiar with?

 

Again, it doesn't give me any problems when driving or any time after this, it just seems.. odd.
