Need help with my Ford XR3

[enzo54321]

Good day gents

I recently bought a ford xr3 and the problem im having is when I start up in the morning I struggle to get her started I have to continue pumping on the gas pedal and turning the ignition on and off, once she starts up she misses until she becomes warm and then idle settles to 1000rpm and then after there is no problems with starting and the miss. what I would like to know is what is causing this problem with starting in the morning.

if someone could help me out I highly appreciate it thank you

ok how should the choke be ? and how would I know if the choke is working or not ?

[enzo54321]

okay thanks tell me does an xr3 have an automatic choke or Manuel

[enzo54321]

okay guys I have checked the choke I noticed it stays open but when I close it manually by pushing it in a closed position it does not cut of nor does it miss what could be causing this problem the carb is in a very good condition and looks like it has not being tampered with.
