[Roadsters] Need some help please

[Tim]

I don't need to use the choke to start the car when the weather is warm and haven't used it since probably last April.

Rebuilt Z-therapy carbs are newly installed last march. I would hope the floats are the newer plastic and not the issue.

My thoughts...

 

a sticking nozzle (or nozzles) when releasing the choke causing over-rich mixture...

float level a little high causing excess fule flow thru nozzle...

When I was leaving the liquor store, every gear was hesitating, bucking, etc. I got back to the hotel and pulled a couple plugs. Before we left for MidOhio, they were a light brown. Now they are black and smell slightly burnt. We put new carbs on last March and the car has been running great ever since. This is the first time I have had any issues. I seems to be idling a little rough right now as well.
