First off, engine: 305 auto 2wd 2bbl rochester carb
So now that my vacuum leaks are fixed I noticed my truck runs alot better. However when it's cold at low throttle like barely off idle lightly accelerating the truck bogs like something is holding the engine back. It'll run good at med throttle. Is this just a characteristic of the carb running rich in choke? I work a mile from the house so for now when I go to work the choke never turns off.
This problem seems to go away when warm even tho the choke is broken and never turns off. I have noticed the truck is hard to start like it's flooded and if I gas it while cranking it'll blow black smoke. The truck used to diesel for a couple seconds after shut off but that problem seems to have cleared up.
I'm wondering if it's just time to find a quadrajet and rebuild it.
