So.....took my 6 to the professionals last week for a tune-up. Got all the basics and a carb adjustment. Now I have a before and after situation.....BEFORE taking the car in for service, when I would start the car cold with the choke fully engaged, it would jump up to a 2k RPM idle. As long as I let the car warm up properly before driving off, I could disengage the choke and the idle would stabilize at 900-1000 RPMs and generally remain strong.
AFTER the service, when I start the car cold with the choke fully engaged, the engine will barely maintain 1000 RPMs and the idle is shallow and weak. Even after a ten-minute warmup, the idle remains shallow. In fact, I have to keep the choke engaged at all times for the car to idle AT ALL.
Anything a novice can troubleshoot at home before having to take the car all the way back out to the shop for a fix??
Thanks.
