I can't get the choke to adjust right. I'm not gonna lie not great with crabs. It takes me 10 mins to get it warm enough to idle and I was just wondering if I converted it to electric choke if it would help?

Is the choke plate open? I assume this has a mechanical with the bimetalic spring on the intake? I don't see anything great about converting to an electric choke. You'd also need a 12 volt ignition circuit to it. Can you take a pix? Also does it have a **** thing on the side?

I am trying to figure how old your setup is. On the **** (if it is a later mechanical choke) is it molded plastic with what apears to have a straighht slot screw driver "slot"?
