Demon carb electric choke

I'm in Michigan, the winter wonderland! lol Before it was turn on the electric fuel pump and fill the bowls, couple of pumps while cranking and within 2 revolutions she would fire right up. I know its a new combo but takes a bunch more cranking now. I want my easy start back. Can u tell me how the choke is hard on rings? U thinkin washing the oil off?

One reason the choke is hard on the rings is they stay on way too long. The choke should be off within 1 minute at the most.

Like I said, the BG choke plate is much better than the crap Holley sent out. BG at least let some air around the choke plate where Holley almost closed it off.

It will be down to mid to low teens here tonight. I can start my car with no choke.

You have to remember...if you are not using the choke, you have to put quite a bit of fuel in the manifold to get it lit.

When it's this cold out (would have driven my car today but the tach is out and TG dinner was at the in laws right across the property so no need to drive a couple hundred feet) I usually give two, full to the floor pumps, count to 5 and one more full pump and off it goes.

Then I hold it about 1200-1300 for a minute and I'm good to go.

Now that you have your parts, you might as well use them!
