I've read all the archives about hard starting etc...but I'm still having problems, hope there's an answer out there. 1988 accord, carb, standard. When I start from cold (over night or on a cooler day) the engines starts fine for 3-4 seconds then starts running rich, tumbling with black exhaust if I try to drive to warm it up quicker, there is no power when I press on the gas. When it finally warms up 5-10 minutes it runns normal
THINGS I'VE CHANGED:
-The choke cover, even though the carb plate was closed properly when cold.
-Fuel filter (front and back)
-Coil
-plugs
-distributor & rotor
-PCV valve
sprayed every concievable cleaner in the carb and soaked the linkages.
cables are 6 months old.
I don't have a vacum gauge to check for air leaks but they all seem fin wit a visual inspection. Help please!
