You probably don't need to mess with the jets unless you have other
symptoms. Bottom line: If the car runs well when it's warm, leave
the jets alone. The DGV does not have an adjustable choke linkage.
The usual problem is that the choke and the idle kicker are not
well-coordinated. Solution: _Bend_ the wire connected to the choke
butterfly until it runs better when cold.
