Sudden loss of power

Glad to hear it. So how did the bulkhead look, was anything corroded or show signs of overheating?Whats wrong with the choke?
It's back to not starting, no power ... might be an ammeter problem.

The bulkhead looked fine, really, considering it has been operating for 50 years without any grease / oil to protect it. Just minor surface corrosion, nothing exciting.

I assume that I have a problem with the choke on my Holley 1920 carb. When the engine is cold, if I give the accelerator more than a tiny tap, the car sputters and nearly dies. It comes back to life when I take my foot off the accelerator. As it begins to warm up, everything evens out. That's why I think it's the choke. It'll be a fun and easy overhaul, or as easy as carbs get. There's no telling when it was last worked on, and whether the gaskets and such are ethanol-resistant.
