Choke Tang....Chokes 101!

Logically thinking, I would rather have my choke pulling open and being held open by mechanical means rather than hoping it opens by gravity, especially if there is any dirt, debris, or corrosion in the choke shaft preventing any free movement. I can honestly say I have never had any choke related issues with it set up like I described.

The coil should open the butterfly and keep it open. When it cools off it should close the butterfly. Of all the photos I saw on the net, all the rods were connected to the coil.

And,I can honestly say I don’t ever remember looking at my 58yr old choke. It just works.
