Hello and new guy...

Just picked up a 1964 F-100 292 V8. Anyway truck has a newer Motorcraft 2bbl. When I received it had to prime carb to start. Found Accl pump linkage was not hooked up. Anyway runs but is not kicking down correctly but will if I hit the gas. Any Ideas???

 

as I recall, most carbs will "kick down" when you hit the gas if cold started, (choke closed). after a minute or so, you hit the gas, carb kicks down.
based on your description, all seems normal.
was I missing something?

 

Thanks correct it does but when it’s running a few minutes I’ll push the gas and it
goes into high idle again but when i hit the gas again it kicks back down??

 

Thanks yes you are correct but what’s happening is that when I accelerate again it goes into high idle again then when I hit the gas it drops?? Instead of staying at a constant rpm

 

ahh ok. check the choke adjustment, may need to back it off a bit.

 

Ok thank you quuestion on that is that true with a electric choke??

 

I would say yes, as the choke will need to be adjusted. Is the electric choke getting power?

 

Thanks again... I will have to check

 

Thanks again. I'll check when I get home...

 

I just bought the exact same thing a couple months back and had the same issue as soon as I had my carb cleaned and added some seafoam it ran fine except for a burnt exhaust valve
