when does one use the throttle cable on my 1947 flathead,trying to get flatty started but will not kick .I have fuel, good battery ,good white spark @ new plugs .? I need new wiper vacuum hose ,do I plug this off @ carb,? Thanks
Throttle knob is just to raise the idle of the engine.
Plug the vacuum port or you wont have a good idle and it will run lean.
Do you have compression on all cylinders ?
