My 85 gl wagon (ea82) wont go anywhere unless the pedal is to the floor. Now when i hold the choke down it has really good throttle response but the choke wont close on its own ive checked the return spring and everything it just wont close up and let my subby roar anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

 

oh and the carb is freshly re-built but it had the same problem before.

 

im going insane

K so im still workin on it BUT i noticed that sometimes when i start the car it works fine. What i see when it does work is the primary jet shooting a tiny bit of fuel but when it bogs the jet doesnt appear to be firing anything... maybe if I keep fiddling somthing will fix itself. *sigh*

if you can gimme a pic of your carb ill tell you exactly what to do...

i also found my vacuume advance isnt workin on my distributor but ill get u a pic.

I'm confused. The choke is supposed to open when the car is running. a closed choke will make it die once warm.

this sounds like the carb isn't getting enough fuel to run the main jet and you keep it running on the choke, soo, check the fuel pump (perhaps swap it with a known good one?) and the pressure regulator. Oh and don't forget, fuel filter, easiest fix.
