1982 C10 straight 6 cylinder all factory stock old farm truck. No cruise or other extras. Winter or summer it started every time and ran great. When replacing water pump I noticed some seepage around carb gaskets so got a carb kit and replaced them. I also replaced vacuum lines as most of them were cracked and brittle.
Now when starting it revs extremely fast. I can get it to slow down by a pump on the pedal but it won't drive without dying until the engine warms up. Electric choke works and eventually when engine warms up it runs fine.
Seems like a very complicated carburetor for such a simple motor. Should have left it alone. Please help. Thanks.
