Won't idle until it's warmed up

My 86 starts on first kick but won't idle or stay running until i've held the throttle open a bit for a few minutes. Once it's warm it idles with no assistance. Ideas?

Sounds like your electric choke is not operating properly. Test it or replace it.

Good call. I have a spare I'll swap in and do the tests on the old one. Thanks.
