More questions than answers. The stat rod setting and the choke rod setting of 0.100 air gap are not jiving. I set the stat rod, but then try to set the choke rod to get 0.100” opening and it brings it back to where I started. It’s a similar to a 67-70 4MV setup.
To make the choke rod gap it rotates the cam follower to where the choke coil rod becomes too long. Make the choke coil rod at index and the choke rod gap is 0.250”.
It could be a couple of things. Worn parts that add extra slop to the action and/ora thin carb to manifold gasket. Probably both.
It’s weird that it’s way off
So bonus points if you know what the 0.100” gap on the second step of the fast idle cam does for you during warmup. Frankly, I don’t know WTF it does. I ask to determine how important it is to the whole start and warm up process. I think it’s more important to get the choke coil to open up from the correct index point and provide a commanding choke close on a cold start. It also keeps the valve more wide open for hot starts.
So far giving the choke rod opening priority has not worked out.
