Spliff Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 My 85 gl wagon (ea82) wont go anywhere unless the pedal is to the floor. Now when i hold the choke down it has really good throttle response but the choke wont close on its own ive checked the return spring and everything it just wont close up and let my subby roar anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? oh and the carb is freshly re-built but it had the same problem before. im going insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i see when it does work is the primary jet shooting a tiny bit of fuel but when it bogs the jet doesnt appear to be firing anything... maybe if I keep fiddling somthing will fix itself. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choke is supposed to open when the car is running. a closed choke will make it die once warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and don't forget, fuel filter, easiest fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
