Cold Start the 1986 GMC Blue Bird with Rebuilt carb

Yes, you can have a "cold start" in 100deg weather. Cold start just means that the engine has not been running for a length of time. However long it takes for the engine to drop to ambient temperatures.

This is the first start in about 4 months. I got the freshly rebuilt carb installed. Something's still not quite right, cuz it won't stay running without the choke on. And won't start without the choke on all the way. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

@aeastman16 actually in 1987 was the first gm fuel injected motor in 1986 was the last carbourated one

[kaiyoshi2243]

@aeastman16 Depends on where you live, I think. I did see a 1988 Chevy school bus with Throttle body injection.

@4751424 The engines made after 91 were fuel injected. 91 and before were had the carburetor

@kaiyoshi2243 Is it "direct-injection"?

[kaiyoshi2243]

@JSneaker Probably. But I have seen later models with and injector at each cylinder... (I forget what its called.)

[JSneaker]

@kaiyoshi2243 Could it have been throttle-body style fuel injection back then?

@4751424 They are standard fuel injection in 1990 and newer
