sounds like the choke is out of adjustment and maby you have a vacumn leak at the base of the carb or some where

i don't know if the choke works...i may try and put something together for a manual choke....it's got an electric choke on the carb, but my buddy that helped me with the carb rebuild was doubtful that the choke was in working condition...he didn't really explain himself on that, but said we could probably make something work if i need it in the future....i'll check for vaccum leaks, too...thanks...
