I put a 3k gsk in my truck. Its now harder to start with the idle at the same place, and someone said i could back off the spring retainers one click. Is this right? Im gonna move the plate soon, and ill do that while im in there if it will help it. Thanks

The idle setting may now be too low. Press the throttle down and get it started, let the throttle return to idle, if it dies then you need to adjust up the idle screw.

Well, when i first got the springs in, it idled way to high, so i idled it back down to where it was, and its harder to start than it used to be still. It idles plent high, and ive been driving it like this close to a month. Its just harder to start(cranks longer).Thanks

If you step slightly on the throttle it will start like normal or back of your springs a click or two.

Yeah, it start fine if i give it just a little throttle, but i dont like having to do that, so i think i might back off the springs a hair. Thanks
