On a electric choke which way does the spring move then heated, does it tighten or loosen? Every time I think I have the choke set, the next time I start the truck up it goes to no choke, slow idle, but after it runs a while it goes to some choke which makes the truck idle faster. It is a after market choke ,NAPA. Went to electric because of electric wipers. HELP 53 3100 root

The choke should heat up & open the butterfly straight up & down. You must have something backwards. I have had problems with the choke comeing back on but that is in real cold weather when the fan blows cold air on it.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

Finley got the choke set right. The spring on the electric choke was going the wrong way. Looked at the water choke that came off and it was wound going left and the electric one was wound right, so remove the spring turned over reinstalled now everything is good. root
