rough idle

hey guys my truck has a rough idle. i just picked it up recentlly the choke fucked up and now i have a manual choke. it was like that when i bought it. how ever at an idle the truck runs rough but once i start rolling it seems fine and the truck runs smooth. and i have another question. my truck the trans whines alittle in 4th. it goes in fine and doesnt pop out. what could thios be? o yeahand one other thing does anyone else have problems with shifting when the trans is real cold? once i am on the road for like 5 min in shifts fine but in the morning its reall hard to shift till it warms up.

First, I would highly recommend getting some carb cleaner. I assume you have'nt tried that yet. What in the world do you mean your choke "silly up?" If your choke is manual, then set it before you crank it over. Push the pedal in and let it return, crank the engine. It should set your choke and run at 1500rpm. Once it warms up, tap the pedal and it should idle around 900-1k. Let it warm up for atleast 5 min. You should'nt let it run cold and drive it until you warm it up. Our trucks are oldies and it will hurt them.

But it also be more then that too. So try it out and post up if it still persists. Explain what you mean by "whine." As in when you shift into it, or when its in 4th? Popping out? As in when you try and disengage it to neutral without using your clutch? I'm having the same problem. I'm not sure what it could be, but I bet these are to account for the fact of:
1. Synchros
2. I think my friend also said something about the copper rings?
3. Trans fluid is low or cold.

Well, I gave my .02 cents. So lemme know how it goes! OHHHH, and btw, in my Chiltons manual it says:

Rough idle or engine runs rough:

1. Dirt or moisture in fuel; Replace fuel filter
2. Clogged air filter; Replace air filter
3. Faulty fuel punp; Check fuel pump output

Try those too!

i already put new airfilter on it and what i meant buy choke is i have and pull cable in the cab to run the choke. i will try the fuel filter. and the trans just kinda whines with in is in engaged in 4th while rolling

Wow! Thats an odd choke you have for it! Reminds me of the ooold trucks like chevy, and whatnot. Though, I have'nt a clue about your tranny.

Good Luck! And let us know how your engine goes.

yeah its kinda pain in the ass... but i am buying webber soon so o well it should be fine

I just got mine in. You'll love it!

yeah i hope so lol. i did try cleaning the carb still nodice what a rat bastard

sorry lol didnt even realized i typed sily up lol

One more thing. I'm pretty sure its the idle speed screw, but on my carb there was a screw on the passenger side of the carb. I could adjust the idle on it. So if you are talking about a low idle or when it idles, it is rough then it is two diff. things. So if your truck is'nt at a 700-800 rpm, then adjust that screw.

i have a non tach cluster lol but ill try it
