It sounds like you need to open up the GAV a bit until it warms up. Sputtering and popping when cold usually indicates running lean. I open the GAV about one turn counter clockwise when cold. when it starts to lope, close the GAV to about 1/4 turn off the seat or where ever it runs best. Mine will hesitate and not want to take the gas unless I richen the GAV until it warms a bit.
Thanks Purdy, this has helped out quite a bit. Yesterday I put a few miles on it and this was the problem. I never had to mess with the GAV before, I just always left it almost closed. After opening it up a full turn, my car smiled.
This is all a learning process for me and I thank all of you for your help.
with the proper jets installed and the carb operating the way its designed the gav will make a difference. open it on a cold engine or weather conditions and once warmed about 1/4 open will usually be good...
i rebuilt a couple carbs with the junk jets the suppliers all sell and the gav didn't do squat because they were all running to rich.. i dont have the time to screw with flowing my own jets so i find the renners kits are an excellent value.
