I recently had my old reliable 122 serviced for a number of repairs. During the course of working on the manual choke, the mechanic discovered significant sludge, varnish, and gunk on the dual carburetor linkages. He performed some much needed cleaning. He also cleaned and adjusted the jets. When I picked up the car it was already warmed up and started right up.
The next day when i attempted to start the car, I had to really have the gas pedal depressed to keep engine running. I had to have the choke control pulled completely out of the dash. In addition, a significant gas odor could be detected in the garage. The minute I tried to press in the choke, the engine wanted to die. I have not yet spoken with the mechanic. This is not the way the choke and engine started previously.
I suspect he will say this is the way it should be. BUT I don't think it is. Would anyone be interested in making a comment / recommendation on this condition ?? Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
