Had a bit of car trouble today. I just got this car and it has a manual choke, which I've never had on a car before. Thus I have a couple of questions:
Leaving work this evening, after the car had sat for 8 hours, I tried to start the it (pulling out the choke. The car did not start. I pushed the choke in and tried to start it again...still nothing. Afraid that I flooded the carbs, I let it sit for an hour. Tried to start it again...again it wouldn't start.
First question: How do you know when to pull the choke out when starting the car?
In an effort to see if I was getting a spark, I pulled the spark plug wire off the number 1 plug and tried to start the car. This time it started up (though it was missing). While still running, I pushed the wire on the plug and got shocked.
Second question: Any idea why it would start like this?
