Have you ever rebuilt one?

it could be the muffler valve set at too hi of an idle, for the cpu to cross reference with the speed of the front wheels?

Yeah like I said beforeI have rebuilt 1 and 2 barrell ones but not 4 barrell carbs! It really isn't that bad. You have to be meticulous!

Its fine aslong as you dont piss around with the jets. otherwise you'll need it tuning on a CO2 meter etc....

For your problem it sounds like either the auto choke is playing up, its a bi-metallic strip wound like a clock spring and it expands as it warms up, if its worn or dirty it will take ages to unwind (expand)

It may also be to do with the needle valve that balances ontop of the float, if its got stuck up in the recess instead of resting down on the float it will cause similar problems due to too much fuel flow

of course i spouted this off without even asking what model of carb it is....sorry.

i think it is the basic factory carb, out of an 83 v-6 Ford thunderbird.......
