I don't know what kind of car you havem but on my TR-6 it takes a fair amount
of pull to heave the throttles up onto the fast-running cam. You may have a
crushed switch plinth from folks using it to rest their thumbs on to get more
oomph into the pull.
Don't do that or else your dash will look as crappy as mine does.
Instead, do what my DPO did NOT do and push the accelerator pedal to the
floor. This gets the throttle wide open, and you can set the choke with ease,
and then let off on the pedal and the throttles will come DOWN onto the cam
instead of having to be pushed UP.
Hope this all makes sense.
