1984 f150 carb issue?

[swampbuck62]

Sounds like the choke is opening too soon or not working. Probably an electric... Can you post a pict?

I think this is the electric choke it does look a little rusty

Only when its cold? When it's warmed up no acceleration problem, runs fine, idle smooth, etc. ?????
If so check/adjust the choke. Hopefully the previous owner hasn't screwed with it or messed up any of the linkage to badly.

Worst case, carb kit and junkyard trip to locate missing/damged linkage.

edit to add:

I've got nothing going on today....bring beer.

lol

Hang on a minute.... is this the EEC-IV 302?????

Easiest fix would be a new Eldebrock carb, for reliability and ease of repair.

with a manual choke?

Yep.

Since you found what may be the choke already, your halfway there. Put a meter/test light in the wire going to it and verify power with the key on.

Is go the electric, but manual would work fine.
