overfueling

[Harrison01]

the old girl seems to be overfueling when its cold and the choke is open and left idling.

ive cleaned the idle jet a couple of times and the idle jet has 45 stamped on the side of it.

can anyone suggest a reason for this.

confusion here.

is the choke flap shut - i.e is the choke lever pulled 'on'. ?

or is the choke flap open?

choke lever pulled 'on'

[scratcher]

Does the flap not restrict air flow and allow it to run rich on warm up?
I could be wrong, thats just how I imagine it to work :scared:

with choke on it'll start, idle, smell abit and drive like a bag of poop.. :p

Correct, that's exactly how a choke works.

It'll always be running/fuelling rich all the time the choke is 'on'.
