How do you adjust the electronic choke? As electronic choke stays on too long after being started

Finally got it, needed to bend the linkage of the choke, took I little while to dial it in, replaced any vacuum lines that looked suspect and then bent the electronic choke unti I had about 1/8 inch gap at the choke plate. Fires up and runs great. Set timing to 8 degrees but Ike the performance better at 9.3.

Sorry you had to attend a funeral today, there is nothing good about the loss of a loved one, and from lots of experience only time can heal the pain. I will be praying for your loved ones.

And thanks again for all the support.

I didn't realize that the proper procedure was to bend something in a new carb to get the auto choke set. It was in a section of the childon manual, I read last night but didn't, think was accurate.

If you would ever like to go fishing, I am known as being very good for crappie, stripper, and bass. You pick and will put you on them. Cell number 770 315 8463. Will send send a donation and thanks again, would still like to take all the vac lines off.
