(today is my day for questions).
My 1725 with 32/36 with Pertronix conversion is having a hard time warming up and then seems to run lean - maybe. I'm not sure if this is typical.
It will start on the first turn of the crank, but I have to keep my foot on the throttle for a few minutes (2-3) before it will be able to idle on its own. Typical symptom is that if I take my foot off the throttle, idle is at 200-rpm to dead within a few seconds.
On startup, depending on how much I keep my foot on the throttle, there is black smoke for a few seconds and typically I get 1-2 "hiccups" back through the carb while trying to get it to idle.
When warm, it idles fine around 800 and it runs best with about 1/4 choke - but on warmer days I don't seem to need choke at all.
I have followed the 32/36 adjustment and jetting instructions I've found online, but have not noticed much difference.
My wife and kids who refuse to ride in the car - but have followed me on occasion say that the car stinks, and I can rarely see some white smoke when I floor it - but only if the sunlight is right.
The dichotomy is that it seems lean when running?, but rich when starting?
My plugs are pretty sooty black, but I have not put new one in yet to see if my adjustments have changed anything.
