I think this is just a “normal” issue, but wanted to ask in case there might be something else going on.
My jtruck sits a lot, especially when the weather is bad (raining) I might not start or drive it for 2 or 3 weeks. It has a 6mo old Holley on it, fast idle is set at 1500rpm and it drops to about 550 when the choke comes off. Idle is quiet and smooth.
I’ve noticed that starting from stop almost kills it the first couple times. It’s like no gas is getting to the carb but step on the clutch and it goes back to a nice idle.
Last night I probably rushed my departure, made it to the end of my street fine, but pulled out into traffic and nothing. Step on the gas to take off and it almost acted like a kill switch. Stepped on the clutch quick and it recovered so I was able to limp it to the side of the road where I let it idle for a few more minutes. Then took off again and had no more issues.
So is this just simply a symptom of a cold carb’d motor or is something else going on? It runs and drives great otherwise and when I let it warmup for 10mins or better I don’t experience what I did last night. It just seemed so dramatic I guess.
