One other thing to check is that you actually have a "choke cable" and not a "bicycle brake type cable". When I bought my car, the previous owner had relocated the choke lever to under the dash and replaced the cable with, what I assume was a bicycle brake cable. The old cable did a good job of pulling the choke open, but did a really poor job of pushing the choke closed. After my car was warmed up, I had to stop the car, open the hood, jump out, push each of the chokes closed, close the hood, jump in the car and proceed. It really sucked when it was raining! When I had my new motor installed, I installed an OEM choke cable and the problem was solved. Just one more thing to look for. Cheers,
