Weber 34/36 has been on yota now for about 1.5 years. never done this before today, I used the over-ride when I started it up, it sounded like da-da-da-da-da-da till it reached a higher rpm and then ran fine, if I didn't keep giving it gas, the engine would quit. Sometimes when warming it up it does this but usually goes away withing 1-2 mins. today it lasted till I shut it off 10 mins later. I started it back up after I shut it off and it ran fine idled normal. shut it off , went to my meeting came back out started and ran fine the rest of the day.

3 things I noticed that might be issues:
1. clutch override switch hasn't been used in a while 6-8 months.
2. gas tank was about 1/4. I never let it get that low, most times filling up when at half.
3. Our new place the driveway is slanted about 40 degrees. I park uphill. I have done this for the month we have lived here with no issues. I read somewhere about webers well draining back to the fuel tank.

I filled the tank up and added seafoam.


Thoughts??
Thanks

Have you checked the setting on the choke? Also, I've had the choke plates stick shut on my Weber so maybe look to see if they are operating correctly. Just a thought....

noob question but how do I check that?

It sounds like your choke is not opening. I assume it has an electric choke?
Take the air cleaner off the carb, start the truck, the metal plate that moves on top the carb is the choke plate. It should slowly open as the truck heats up. when the truck is running rough pull open the choke with your hand and see if it runs better.
