Hi All,
I have a 1200 ute with A14.. stock carb with crap removed..
I think I have an idle jet problem ...not sure ..
When I start the engine cold it seems to take alot of turning and then when it does fire it coughs and splutters and runs rough for about 1 min and then runs fine, idles well and everything, starts first hit again.
Its like something just switches and allows the fuel to flow and it runs like a dream..
I've tried following idle mix adjustment guides etc ie screww right in then out 2 turns, then adjust to highest revs. but then when starting from cold it never runs. I have to back the idel mix out about 8 turns to get it to idle...
Choke also doesn't seem to work...just floods it..

Any help would be appreciated..

When you pull the choke, does it crack the throttle plate open a touch? There should be a linkage between choke plate and main throttle shaft. If this is missing, can cause poor cold starting.
