So I just installed a new carb on my 83 D150 225 slant six.
I decided to replace the old carb as I couldn't solve the issues even after rebuild. The new carb is perfect however it seems to hold choke idle on way too long.
From a cold start, the truck will idle around 1500rpm, then slowly climb to 2000-2500 rpm. Ive found I have to turn it off and on a few times and rev the motor to get it to drop to normal idle, about 650rpm.
I have left it a few times to warm up without turning it off but it just seems to climb or not drop at all even when I blip the throttle. I really don't want to touch the idle screws etc unless I have to as it's all new all and set up to factory specs.
The carb is a Carter 2 barrel.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I'm a total newb to carbs and I'm learning as I go.
Thanks folks
