Instruction manual says open GAV one turn on cold start,

On My car

1. Open GAV one turn on cold start.

1a. set throttle to slightly open (one or two clicks after floor pedal starts to move) - leaving it closed will make it harder to start.

2. Pull choke for one or two seconds while engine is turning. (choke only works while engine is turning). (I see Utube videos where they choke engine while it is NOT turning).

3. Release choke and continue to crank usually engine starts after several turns.


Holding choke more than two seconds Usually will flood engine.

4. If engine starts and then dies, open GAV another 1/2 turn or so and go back to step #2.

5. If TEMPERATURE is 20 below or colder then 2 turns of GAV may be needed to keep engine running.

6. Then close GAV (clockwise) as needed so it runs smoothly as it warms up.

The purpose of GAV is to keep a cold engine running while it warms up.

Instruction manual says:
1/4 turn on GAV is normal when engine is warm. Depends on how carb was rebuilt.
