Ive never driven a nonfuel injected car! and it is very frustrating to me.

Put key in ignition, turn key to start, wait for car to start, put car in drive, step on gas and go, it's that simple.

The choke on a Delta 88 is operated with a bimetallic spring that is plumbed into the coolant circuit. When the car is cold, the spring pulls back the choke, closing it. When the coolant reaches operating temperature, the spring relaxes, allowing the choke to open. This assembly is on the right side of the carb. It sounds like yours isn't working.

CHOKE is the biggest thing to think about in an old car.the choke is a metal flap that is in the center of the carburator.if it is not adjusted right it will not allow the car to start especialy in cold weather. have someone take off the breather (on top of carb) then have then manually close the choke. while you try to start it with gas pedal pushed all the way down..it should start.

yeah they can be tricky , pump the gas twice and crank it , you may have to feather the gas to keep it going for a bit , let the old girl warm up for 5 min. or so before you take off , get it tuned up and have the choke adjusted , you may only have to pump once or not at all after the tune up , if you replace the carb you should be able to push the gas 1/2 way , hold while cranking and it should fire , carbs definitely give them personality , be glad it's not manual choke , manual trans , good luck , have fun

Cold morning? Pump the gas pedal a couple times to get gas into the intake. Then turn the key.
If it want's to stall from a stop, do little pumps on the gas to get it going when it's still cold.

gotta push the gas pedal down a few times before you start it, but not too much so you don't flood the carb. Them old cars dont like a "jump in and go" driver either, let her warm up a bit first, and try not to stamp on the gas so that she downshifts too much either, old transmissions don't like that very much.
