On cold mornings my 86 Accord LX (carb) sputters until it warms up, then it runs great. It's only cold wether that I notice a problem. After it sputters for a little while the choke seems to set and it will idle high until it warms up. It's just that initial 2-3 minutes it takes to get beyond the sputtering. Any ideas? Not sure how to adjust the fuel/air mixture on this carb either.

Thanks, JM

Don't forget to check for leaking/arcing at your plug wires & distributor cap. I've had cars where that problem would really mimic a carb with not enough choke. Look for arcing in the dark on cold start.
