Mine will hesitate and not want to take the gas unless I richen the GAV until it warms a bit.


Thanks Purdy, this has helped out quite a bit. Yesterday I put a few miles on it and this was the problem. I never had to mess with the GAV before, I just always left it almost closed. After opening it up a full turn, my car smiled.

This is all a learning process for me and I thank all of you for your help.

with the proper jets installed and the carb operating the way its designed the gav will make a difference. open it on a cold engine or weather conditions and once warmed about 1/4 open will usually be good...
i rebuilt a couple carbs with the junk jets the suppliers all sell and the gav didn't do squat because they were all running to rich.. i dont have the time to screw with flowing my own jets so i find the renners kits are an excellent value.

Thanks! I have ordered a fuel level gauge from Mike to make sure I'm 5/8 down as well.
