Beegeer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 OK OK here are the details: -ea-81, pushrod motor , recently rebuilt. -weber 32/36, manual choke with no fuel return, not sure what the jets are but I think they are too big. -Runs OK, lots of power, bad mileage It starts right up without choking, runs well. Between 5-10 mins into my drive the throttle will get stuck WFO. I pull over pop the hood and the base of carb is covered in ice. Playing with the throttle linkage for a sec or two seems to free it up and it runs great the rest of the day. Any ideas? I live in a very humid climate, but not cold. This occurs at temps as high as 45F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIM Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I had the same problem for a while with my weber freezing up too, There is a little water hose about the size of a fuel line running from the bluck to just below the carb, Make sure that things hooked up. Mine was fine till winter hit then froze up every day till i hooked that thing back up and it stoped my problem, Allows warm water to heat the intake and base of carb. ~Dayten~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts??? :-\ Try spraying your linkages with WD-40 or a light machine oil, that should keep the linkages from freezing. ~Dayten~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
