Just curious. I would prefer having a manual choke if I had the choice. The fast idle often does not kick off soon enough for my preference.
I have two slants with manual chokes, they work super simple. Install a generic cable to the butterfly, and done. As mentioned above, you do have to feather it off as the engine warms up.
Its that thing yours doesn't have .....
A properly working automatic choke can be kicked off fast idle at any time. A couple seconds after the engine starts. The choke going closed moves the fast idle cam and gravity kicks it off when you tap the gas pedal. The fast idle cam must be clean and move freely.Just curious.
