Carburetor problem
Got a question for anyone that can help. My 81 22r pickup wont stay running, just had the carburetor rebuilt as a result of this yet the problem still exists. The truck runs fine in cold weather, but as soon as the outside temperature reaches 65 or warmer it wont idle on its own. I have to hold the gas pedal to keep it running. Im not very familiar with carburetors or their components, so any help would be very helpful. Where do I start?

Pull out a voltmeter and check if your choke is getting any power? I had that problem before so i wired my choke to the fuel-cut wire. Maybe setup your choke again, not very hard just loosen 3 screws and rotate.

Believe my buddy that rebuilt the carb did, it ran fine for a day or so before it developed the problem. I know he adjusted the idle, as far as the choke dont know.

There should be 2 wires coming off your carb, one for choke and other is fuel-cut. The wire that goes more to the top of the carb is the choke. Just unplug the green connector and test out the terminals. Should only be getting power when the ignition is ON.
