[Chrysler300] 64 lazy idle due to choke

[Dave Dumais <daveskstick@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all for alternative methods on checking for the intake leak.  Used the hose and propane torch (much safer than ether).   No rise in rpm's were noticed.

I inspected and corrected all exhaust connections with leaks, what a sweet sound!

The auto choke sticking, with the air cleaner housing on.  I attached a plastic clothes pin to keep choke  open, then set idle screw back into previous position. Reconnected dwell/tach, and reset air bleeds to bring the beast under control.

Choke was NOS several yeas ago, so it came under scrutiny.  A  little bath with carb cleaner worked.  Now when I use oil or solvents in contact with Old skin, I wear the "Fletch gloves"  to prevent irritation, and unwanted grime.

Again, thanks for all the helpful tips and safety aspects.

      All have a safe New Year.              300K-ly  Dave.
