    Exclamation Q-jet choke Question

     



    Ok well I am having a problem with hot starts on my sbc 350 and have narrowed it down to the choke. It does not open all the way when the motor is hot and the only way I get it started is by putting gas in the carb and flooring the pedal

    I called Recarbco because I got the carb from them about 2 months ago and they said it has a remote choke on it and there should be something connected to it from the passenger side of the manifold (and something about a manifold crossover...don't know what that is...) but I don't see anything that would hook up to it so I took some pictures hoping somebody could help me out

    Electric choke conversion? Where might I find one of these?

    Sorry for hi-jacking the thread by the way.......

    Go along with Denny on the choke set up. If your pic is right, you have a PCV system that is causing runability problems. Where does the hose going to passenger side attach to? If my eyes don't decieve me, and they do sometimes, it looks like you have two PCV valves hooked up or? Basically, what is attached to that line? Please tell me that's not going around the manifold to the booster.

    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
