[QUOTE="thill, post: 500988, member: 4972"] Some older motors like to be run at a fast idle at startup for a few minutes. You lift the idle lever on the side control mount, start it up, and let it warm up while you park the truck. And then it will be fine for the rest of the day. You can enrichen the idle fuel mixture to make it run better when cold, but then it will be pretty smoky for the rest of the day. You can try to adjust it somewhere in between those two extremes. Open the idle mix screws 1/8 turn out and see if that helps. If it's too smoky, turn them back in. I hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
