Question My Rolls will start cold with choke with no problems but as she warms up she will not idle and only runs if I manually hold the choke open. I think the choke is compensating for lack of fuel. I have checked fuel pump, fuel filter (main) and fuel filters to both carbretters - all o.k and fuel in good supply. Any suggestions as to what I can try next?
Answer It would be unusual for this to just start by its-self. How do you manually hold the choke open? (in the engine compartment with a lever of some kind?) The typical faults are too much fuel - a bad float etc. Did this just happen and, you do have SU's dont you?
