    Default 4K-C idle and running issue (now with vid)

    Hey guys, i'm having a bit of trouble getting my 4k to idle and run properly.

    It will idle nicely with the choke on but when you turn the choke off, the revs rise a fair bit, it will idle for 3 seconds and then it just dies in the ass. I can only get it to idle without the choke on if i crank it up to around 2000rpm.

    When i drove it with the choke on it was smooth in power delivery but when i turned the choke off the engine really struggles to rev like its being flooded.

    Any ideas as i think i've checked everything?

    I think it might be that as when i give the throttle a little "blip" you can hear a noise like it's sucking somewhere else

    Are you talking about the fuel shutoff solenoid?

    all you need to worry about is the dizzy vacuum advance line and the vacuum line that opens the secondary's.

    and charcoal canister

    Everything else you can rip off and block...

    That's all i was planning on keeping. I saw a 4k vacuum diagram from the bonnet somewhere that had bright green lines to show which ones to keep but i can't seem to find it!
