Please click here to see my carb. I believe I do not have the mechanical choke arm and choke blade arm installed properly. This is the default position of the choke blade when the engine is cold. Any help as to how to adjust and/or connect it will be greatly appreciated!

It appears to be an automatic choke. It would be adjusted on the end not in the picture. Even cold it will sit as shown until the accelerator is pumped once to allow it to close.

Thanks, cletis! So this is a mechanical automatic choke with the other end being coiled, right?

What do y'all think about the position of the choke blade arm in relation to the chocke blade? The pic shows how it was when I bought the truck. When I had a guy rebuild the carb, he sent it back with the arm 180° off. I put it back where it was.
