How do you adjust the choke on a 1978 350 4 barrel Chevy truck engine?

To adjust the choke on a 1978 350 4 barrel Chevy truck engine, turn the screw on the side of the carburetor. This screw is located in the side of the carburetor. Turning the screw to the right makes the choke open farther. Turn to the left to make the choke open less.

Does the auto choke stay on the whole time the car ison?

No. Most, if not all, auto choke systems work off the temperature of the engine (usually the intake manifold). When the engine is cold, the choke provides a richer fuel mixture to aid starting and help smooth running. As the engine temp increases, the choke should slowly open. If the choke stays 'closed', fuel consumption will increase drastically, the engine's cylinders will become choked, the spark plugs may become coated with soot and fail to spark and the exhaust may emit smoke.


How does the choke relay work on a 1981 Toyota corona?

the purpose of the choke relay is to supply power to the choke heater ONLY when the engine is running; otherwise if you left the key in the run position but the engine wasn't running the choke would open up even though the engine wasn't warmed up. then when you tried to start it, it wouldn't start because no choke. the control circuit for the relay usually comes off of the back of the alternator triad winding (alternator not turning=engine not running). without looking at a wiring diagram i can't tell you the details of the wiring but that's the idea of it- engine running turns relay on and sends power to choke heater and slowly opens up choke; key on but engine not running means relay is off and no power to choke heater. if the relay is not working, then no power will go to choke heater and the choke will stay on too long (or if ambient temps. are low it may stay on all the time). fast idle will stay on also as it is hooked up to choke linkage.

What will wiring the heat exchange open on your 350 Chevy do?

NOTHING that you will ever notice. The engine will just warm up alittle slower and the choke may open alittle slower too.


I have a 6 hp ohv horizontal engine that will only run when choked whats wrong?

Make sure the carb. is clean. Take it off the engine and remove the bowl. There should be a small brass tube that sucks gas up in the center of the bowl, make sure it is not plugged. If it was clean then try turning out the mixture screw for high speed. If you don't know what one is what you can turn them by trial and error. If you turn it counterclockwise while it is running and it starts running rough then open the choke and it will eventually start running good with the choke open. Just play with it a while. Make slow adjustments so you don't kill the engine and it is quits then turn it back to where you last started it at.

There is a tool known as a choke gauge. It is a tapered length of metal that is placed in the bore, and measures the width of the muzzle. Or- shoot the shotgun, and determine how it patterns, Purpose of a choke is to to open or close a shot pattern- and proof is in what the gun does.
