i've never worked on "modern" lbc, but sounds typical for automatic chokes
on other cars, usually holds throttle butterfly/slide/whatever open
(sensible when engine cold) by come sort of cam, friction and sometimes a
stepped sort of detent prevents this from disegaging until you hit the
accelerator once, releasing the detent (friction) on the cam and allowing
the throttle to close- is this consistent with auto choke on
zenith-strombergs?
