Ive got a Supertrapp w/ 14 disks , Lancers Stage 1 cam, Ive rejetted & it doesnt make a hoot if its 40 degrees or 85 degrees, its Gonna want choked to lite off, 1/2 usually works & I start there. Its gonna run better if I raise the idle speed just a hair, too. As it warms up, Ill kill the choke, & eventually Ill hear the rpm is a bit high at a stop & Ill turn it baCK down again, Ifs a bit fiddly, but totally predictable & understandable, Its a Fat Thumper & youll feed that One Power Stroke every 4th run of the piston well or it will be noticeable, theres no other piston there to cover for this one not hitting right, So, I find myself reaching down & giving the idle a little tickle,, its okay, it looks designed to be easy to adjust, no tools,
What should it have on the speedo in 1st gear if th engine is running 1,000 rpm? I forgot,, Of course, thers speedo error, tire size error,.but if its turning 700 rpm, youll know, cuz it wont much want to idle in 1st anyway,,Id rather have the idle a hair high than low,. & your Noob questions are no bother at all,,
