I'm new, but some help with my '74 GL would be great.

Hey all,

 

So i picked up this '74 GL (leone, 1400, etc...). It's a front wheel drive 4-speed, 2 door coupe.

 

Here's the issues. Idle seems to be a big problem. Thought i had it working last night, but i tried to start it this morning and it just dies if i don't keep the gas on. It also seems to be missing at idle and above this morning.

 

Here's what has been done so far. Replaced plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, and vacuum lines. Rebuilt the carb, but i might need to clean the jets better. Timing is set correctly, i gaped the points properly. I believe the fast idle adjustment is correct, but i'm not sure about the idle and idel mixture adjustments. Two things i noticed. I'm missing my anti-dieseling solenoid, and the wire was cut to the anti-dieseling switch.

 

I think the automatic choke might not be working correctly, but i'm not 100%.

 

So... Any ideas? Anyone know how to adjust the choke?

 

Thanks,

-Dusty-

I think i put this in the wrong section. I'll repost it in the historic. A mod can delete or move if necessary.
