Z runs stronger with choke on?

Featured Replies

Hi.

Lately my car feels like its "stuttering" when I disable the choke. This is irregardless of water temp, just feels like the power cuts in and out.

Tiny bit of choke and the power is back, but if the watertemp is normal, the car gets a funky, sputtering idle.

Anyone familiar with this problem?

More specifically, it sounds like your carbs are too lean and the choke is richening the mixture enough to make them behave normally. Carb adjustment should be covered fairly well elsewhere in these forums...
