Hi all -- new this forum with a 1980 survivor that I recently purchased. Engine was running good when I purchased it and I've barely put any miles on it...just around town here and there.
Recently it just won't stay running unless I have the choke at least have way pulled (or foot on the gas a little). Even after I warm it up plenty, it just dies immediately upon pushing the choke all the way in. Eventually I need to push in the choke so its not idling so high but as soon as I do that...it dies.
I thought it was a fuse issue (when I discovered a blown one in my fuse box) -- it seemed to fix it for a bit and would stay running but then the fuse blew again. Now the fuse is not blown but I'm back to the same issue. I recently picked up a Haines manual and the wiring diagram and "I think" the fuse that was blown was ENG.
Any ideas?? ALL ideas are welcome...I'm drawing blanks.
Thank you in advance,
CM
