The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Why do I have to keep pulling the choke out ?

I have never gotten this car to run well since it was assembled.
I have 2 Tillotsons as spares, and motor runs just as poorly using either.

Checked jets a couple months ago and I recall that main was oversize by .003.
Zenith has been blown out, wire poked thru all holes multiple times now.

Fuel tank has been dipped and has no gunk or rust flaking.

Spark plugs are a little sooty.
I don't have a known "good running" carburetor anymore.
