What happens when a carburetor is stuck on a car?
A stuck manifold heat-control valve, or commonly called the heat-riser, can cause warm-up and cold drivability problems. If this valve is stuck in the cold position, it will constantly direct hot exhaust gasses under the carburetor. This can cause hard starting when hot, as the fuel will have boiled out of the float bowl.
