Jay,
The choke is only used when the motor is cold. Once the motor is warm, the
choke
plate SHOULD be open all the way. In California, you don't even need the
choke,
I haven't had my choke plates closed in 40 years!
To find your problem, I would set it fully open. I would guess that a small
bit of that
old gasket has plugged a passage somewhere (air or fuel passage).
Look to see that the secondary throttle plates are closed, then just work on
the front
section, that is where the problem is.

a heat pipe - the covered tube. You should be able to feel some spring
tension by pushing on the choke plate. It is possible the choke and the
bi-metal spring inside that cover are not engage properly. There should
also be a mark on the choke cover that usually lines up with one of the
casting marks. Loosen the 3 screws on the choke cover to see and feel if
the choke plate will move with the cover as it turns. Secondary throttle
plate should be closed, primary throttle plate should be very near closed -
this is the idle set Ron -----Original Message----- From: Jay Laifman

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Carb install - at least it's not leaking Here is a
picture of the way it looks right now. Shouldn't that throat plate be in the
closed position? Or is it supposed to be open? I wonder if I have the choke
attached incorrectly and it is keeping it open. Jay
