Subject:By the Powers Check your Microswitch or Temp II

Ole Long John says,

I'd try swapping out your Temp II sensor, or clean its connection.  What
your dealing with is cold start enrichment.  Sounds like the engine is a
tad rich until full operating tempature.

So, either your basic idle adjusment is off, a real possiblity or the
Temp II is ready to be replaced.  I personally get about a year before
mine goes, one lasted eight month.

The basic idle needs the signal from the throttle micro switch that the
engine is in idle.  You could've been a lubber, and sprayed it when you
swabbed ole Bill with that rum.  Use of VOM to verify the micro switch
is engaged.

Otherwise do a basic idle setup, look under my name in the archives, or
 under fuel injection setup.
