Choke Technique... 120-130 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be shayne on  Wed Jan 26 09:42 CST 2005 [RELATED]

"I pull the choke out all of the way to start the car. As soon as the engine catches (right away in warm weather, a few cranks in the cold) I immediately move the choke to a position where the engine is comfortably idling before stalling. This is generally achieved by pushing in the choke 1/3 to 1/2 of the way in, thereby leaving it 2/3 to 1/2 open. As the engine slowly increases its revs on its own I gently bump the choke down, again just so it is comfortably idling before stalling. During this process I occasionally give the throttle a gentle nudge, more for my listening pleasure than for Virginia."

That's how I've done it the last 14 years or so:o)

So you don't even move/drive the car til it's fully warmed?
I can drive mine almost immediately with the choke slightly out 'til warm.

Beast,
Shayne.
