She's Running choke question also.

[Kaos]

Today after rebuilding the Carburetor, Fuel Pump and rewiring I got the car running.  Here are a couple of videos of it running.  I am however having a problem with the choke or I do not know how to use it correctly.  It starts right up but when the choke is on the butterfly valve closes and will not reopen unless I give it a light bump.  Any ideas where this could be hanging up?  I am thinking it has something to do with the throttle because if I use it, it also closes the choke and will not reopen.  Idea's?

Good job!  Engine sounds good.

Special kind of thrill, isn't it? Now the real fun begins.

there is a fast idle ramp on the throttle linkage that keeps the throttle butterfly open by working as a shime under the idle speed adjustment screw it is supposed to kick down when the choke butterfly is opened.  When they get worn they get out of position and often will not release.  I bit of mechanics wire will secure it in the released position and take it out of the equation.  If that your problem, you can choose to address it or just leave it tied down.

I found a damaged part on the carb. It's a rod that runs from the top butterfly valve to the bottom. It has 2 notches that keeps it in place and one of the notches are broken off. Anyone know where I can find this part? I recreated the part with some heavy Guage home electrical wire but I want to put it back right and that appears to of stopped my choke sticking issue. I will reply with photos in a few minutes to show exactly what I am talking about. Also is it normal for the carb to drip fuel when the gas cap is off but not leak at all when the gas cap is back on or could I have a gasket somewhere I missed?

It's leaking with cap off under the top tank of the carb it appears there is a silver in color valve but I don't see how to get it off. From inside the top there is a copper bolt at that part that just had a washer on it when I checked it.

Here is the damaged part

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone know where to get the original air cleaner for the top of the carb I believe it was oil bath?  That appears to be the only thing missing from this car and doing a web search its hard to determine what was original or I'm just gun shy to jump on one till confirmed its the correct part.

 

is this correct?

That's not the right one,  Just do a search for 47 Plymouth engine and view the images.  

And you might also take a look at this:   

 regarding carburetor.

I don't think your rod is broken. You are missing the spring clip that holds it in place on the lower end.

 

 

And as mentioned the expensive e-bay air cleaner is not correct for a P-15. The correct one looks like this.

Greg, he's showing the fast idle link, not the accelerator pump link.
