Automatic choke running way too high???
I'm not sure i am posting in the best place or not, but i'm hoping to get some help regarding a situation. I have a 5.9 liter AMC 360 engine (sorry, i know this is ford but you folks have always been helpful on the other engines, thought you could help here).
anyway, it came in a Jeep J10 pickup, 1975. When cold, I push the accellerator to the floor and release. Then turn the key. This activates the automatic choke. The engine revs to 2100 rpms, which seems way too high. I pop the pedal and it sometimes helps the rpms drop, but if i do this too soon, the engine will stall b/c it is not warm. If I let it run at 2100 until warm, the oil pressure runs at nearly 80psi and the motor begins to smoke out of one of two exhaust pipes. It is white, burning oil type smoke, which is interesting, b/c once warm, i never see smoke. The engine was rebuilt yrs ago and is not a smoker other than under these conditions. Once warm and the idle settles down, the smoke is gone.
My question is, why is it smoking at this particular time and never at other times and second, what can i do to control the rpms when cold. 2100 seems way too high.
