| MY opinion you should be able to remove the bolts and reinstall the heat collector and connect the metal tube to the thermostatic housing and retorque all the bolts. The reason you engine stays on fast idle longer is their is not enough hot air generated by the exhaust manifolds to heat the bi-metal coil spring in the choke themostatic housing. Their should be a metal tube running up to the thermostatic housing from the exhaust manifold, inconjunction with vacuum pressure these two control amount of time the engine is on fast idle. Also, the bi-metal coil spring move the fast idle linkage about 1/4 of a inch to kick the engine off fast idle. So, it is very important that all the setting are set correct for winter or summer settings. In your case the engine generated from under the hood will finally heat the bi-metal coil spring enough to allow the it to be kicked off fast idle. Only problem is when it is colder the longer this will take and your engine will be running rich due to the choke restricting the amount of air entering the engine. Hope this helps or maybe you will get a different view. RC |
