Oh, I see that now. So it would make sense to turn it to the rich side to close the butterfly? Here is a picture of the one that I replaced

Hello,

I don’t recall where I ordered it, but here is the box it came in. Guess there is a possibility that the part may not go with the box though. It matches up perfectly with the one I took off the car

There are normally two ways to adjust the cold start choke setting. First, the choke bimetal spring in the unit that sits in the manifold should be adjustable via the screwdriver slot in the axle of the spring. Usually there are markings on the disk for rich and lean. The second method is to bend the linkage rod so that it is more or less straight to change it's length. Hope this helps.

I have a 300 F that has always been a hard starter. I noticed that my choke is wide open, so I purchased a new choke mechanism and removed the thick carb base gasket. This is a picture with no base gasket and the choke butterfly closed. Notice the difference I still need to insert the choke rod into the choke. Any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks
