Get someone to pull the choke out fully while you watch the Carbie. You should see the jet drop down. If this doesn't happen then it's not getting the extra fuel needed for cold start.

HI sorry for the old thread. just wondering how do you see it when its all sealed? or do you have to pull AirFilter off?
Thanks Brett


Yeah as Tim explained you should see the levers on the outside actually pull the jet down. On cars with a standard air filter you probably would need it off to see properly.

Actually the first half of pulling the choke out a cam should increase the idle speed only, then as you pull the choke further than half it starts to also pull down the jet.

So for a proper cold first start you really should pull the choke right out, if it’s only half out you are only increasing idle speed.
