Lodewijk,

Do this:

#1: Loosen screws on choke cover.

#2: Remove choke cover and make sure that the coil spring end is in the forked slot provided for it or behind the armature that needs closing when cold, so, that when the spring cools (shrinks inwards on it's self) it moves the linkage in the proper direction.

#3: Snug down the screws after assuring yourself all is in order and at normal mid 70's temperature range rotate choke cap until the flap is about 1/4" to 3/8" open, (on a cold engine) make sure to work the throttle once while adjusting the flap so that the high idle cam is allowing a correct setting.

#4: Make sure that the High Idle cam set screw is NOT touching the cam at this point. Back it off if necessary, becasue the choke is not on at this point.

#5: Screw in your AF mixture screws all the way and then back out 2 full turns and then stop playing with then for the moment.

#6: Move to the other side of the carb and retract the idle set screw until it is not touching the throttle.

#7: Get a flashlight and peek into the carb and then adjust the idle set screw while watching the butterflies. Screw it inwards to open the throttle about the thickness of the thin side of a match or a tiny bit less. (this will give you about 1,200 rpm's give or take at idle)

#8: Time to start the car and adjust everything:

#9: Once running (the car SHOULD have started with no more than 3 depressions of the foot feed if the carb was full of fuel) Proceed to set emergency brake, then go to the carb.

#10: Adjust idle down to a smooth 600 to 800 rpm's and guessing is fine here if you have no tach. (use Idle set screw for this) Then wait until the car is fully warmed up.

#11: Go to the AF mixture screws, right bank first (that's my peference) Slowly turn in the screw until you get a rough idle then come back out until it's smoothe and no further. Repeat that proceedure with the left screw.

#12: Slow down the idle on the car some more, or until you think you're at about 650 to 700 rpm's. Then repeat the AF mixture screw adjustments, this time going to the left side first then the right.

#13: ????Setting cold Idle cam????


Knowing where you live will greatly help me assist you in setting the cold Idle cam, and allow me to complete this post.

I hope that what I have said so far is not confusing. The advice given thus far is good but a little foggy for someone not wanting to mod his engine at the moment, but only to get it running decent...


Welcome to the board!
