o;?I hadnbt driven the car for a few weeks, so Ibm not sure if I correctly
remember. I think I was having trouble previously keeping the car running at
idle; I had to pull the choke out for it to stay running.
We went for a drive today; about 30 minutes of freeway and 10 minutes of
neighborhood driving. I was having trouble keeping the car at idle; I had to
use the choke to turn the revs up a bit to keep it running. We turned the car
off, looked around for 10 or 15 minutes, then got back in the car and drove
around a bit more. Went to a drive in to deposit a check, and had a bit of
trouble keeping it running, and then restarting it, so I left it idling for
the 10 or 15 minutes we were in line. Got done with that, then as I was
leaving the car died and I couldnbt restart it. Pushed it off into a
parking spot, and looked under the hood. I noticed one of the dashpot tops
was unscrewed, so I put that back on. Car wouldnbt start. Put dashpot oil
in; car wouldnbt start. Sprayed some WD-40 into the air filters and it
started. Drove it home with the choke way out!
Back in the garage I pushed the choke back in and it idled just fine. Turned
it off and back on, no biggie.
Am I correct in thinking that the dashpot cover/oil was the issue; I flooded
it; and now its more or less back to normal? Or should I be looking for
something deeper?
