Yes I have noticed it has been sticking. That may be the problem. Thanks!

For summer time running you could block the heat riser valve open. With our L78 I just added the GM heat shield under the intake, blocked the heat riser and double gasketted the carb. End of problems. I felt that I was getting far too much heat to the intake for warm weather use. In colder weather it is definitely needed for drivability.
