Got a rebuilt y block, it has "trips".
3 Ford script "94". The center carb.
Has choke, 52 jet's. The 2 out board
No choke 49 jet's. The carbs or just rebuilt by a well-known rebuilder. The issue I'm having is: in order for the car to run I have to have the choke pulled out more than halfway. It has a stock fuel pump with a fuel pressure gauge. I have it set for 3 pounds. But it doesn't seem to hold a steady pressure I had a lot of times it will go all the way down to zero.
So what do you guys think about me having to run with this choke on?
Thanks
