Patrickt,

Thanks for the post on cleaning the air bleeds..I had back spray when I first sprayed the carb cleaner into them. They were pretty dirty. When I sprayed them the second time with carb cleaner it went straight in...it's amazing the difference now. My car idles like a brand new car.

Chaplin is right, In the colder months/temps my cobra had a hard time starting...I had to install a manual choke. It use to take about 5 tries if I was lucky to get the cobra to start. Once I added the choke, it starts the first time everytime. I pull the choke half way out and follow with one full pump on the gas pedal...When I turn the key, it fires up no problem. Then I feather it in to where it will idle and not die. Then when it's warm, I push the choke all the way in...Done..Off I go.
