1988 OMC 5.0
502APRGDP
2 bbl Rochester carb - heat choke
Intake Manifold - GM 14096284
Would a leak from where choke heat tune comes out of intake manifold cause hard starting or enging not turning over? (see picture)
I replaced the choke heat tube that sits inside the intake manifold. Started engine up on muffs to test her out. Ran fine. Day later, started engine again to adjust the carb air/fuel mixture. Engine started fine and got up to operating temperature. Shut engine down to adjust something. When I did, could hear a loud hissing coming from the lower right corner of the plate that secures the choke heat tube to the manifold (see picture). Hissing eventually died out. Tried to restart engine again but would not turn over.
Two mistakes I made. I did not put a gasket under it. I did not tighten it down. (Hand threaded it and forgot to go back and tighten it down.)
I am waiting for the gasket to arrive in mail. Have not tightened down and tried starting again. But, got me wondering if a leak from where choke heat tune comes out of intake manifold cause hard starting or enging that won't turn over.
