Got a mechanical question..

[SMD Basshead]

I don't know if some of you seen this car on criagslist yet (http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/3237896599.html) But I talked to the guy and he said the only problem mechanically is when you do a cold start if you just sit there it will stall, so in the morning you would have to press the gas for it to stay idle.

 

Is this a huge problem? And if so, how much would it cost to fix it.

sounds like he needs to flip the choke on lol

[Tristin]

My car does that as well. I pull the choke out all the way when I start until its running. Then I slide the choke in until about halfway-ish or so until the car warms up. Once the car is at temperature, I push the choke in and go on my merry way. Easy peasy.

 

It could be just the choke, it could be the carb needs to be slightly adjusted, but either way its super simple and I wouldnt worry about it.

Also..I know this isn't mechanical but...how much would YOU offer him? :confused:

I didn't think you needed a choke in So. Cal.

meh, its an 80s 510.

 

not nearly the demand of the 68-73 510s.... by a long shot.

 

 

and its an auto...

[SMD Basshead]

I want an auto anyways. xD I tried driving stick in a truck and I hated it.

Blasphemy. Just sayin' ;)

just tell him to stick a feather up his ass and give you the car and you'll both be tickled. not much info there. Price depends on how many miles, if he meant the title was "on hand", does it pass smog, etc. wildly guessing $500 is a smart 1st offer?
