My choke wasn't working well so i opted to move to electric with the super choke 1231.
Starting in cold weather is still really challenging so i figured id post here to see if i have it right.
Image one is how the carb looks after sitting from yesterdays long drive. turned off the car and put the cover on it.
Image two is after i have pumped the pedal twice to prime it for starting. You can see that the choke plate has closed to about 75% but not all the way.
Image three is the orientation of the fast idle cam and the rest of the assembly. the choke plate is still at 75%
image four is if i manually rotate the fast idle cam fully "up" this allows the choke plate to completely close....this is where i *think* i need to be. The electric choke mechanism will fully close the choke plate without assistance if I pull the fast idle cam into the position manually.
The temp was 68 F when i took these pics
I have the choke set to one notch richer as per the instructions since i added a 3/8 carb spacer gasket
Car runs great when warmed up just slightly
