OK, the nasty 81 came back on a tow truck again today after a trip to a seminar in Primm Nevada. About 53 miles or 300 Dollars for the trip home.
The car starts and runs sweetly from cold but would not restart last night. That's happened one other time at work but it started then.
First suspicion was the fuel pump (I had NO tools as I was in a suit) but I can't see where a fuel pump would be temperature sensitive.
Now I'm wondering about the choke circuit.
I have the choke wire unplugged because the choke light and buzzer are on whenever the wire is connected. This is on the freshly rebuilt carb.
Can anyone explain that circuit, why it's always on and if it could be preventing my start during warm ambient conditions?
