Here is the skinny on chokes. When a choke is et up right. you go put ijn 
the morning and push the pedal down at least half way THEN RELEASE IT! You 
do that because the fast idle linkage has steps that keep the choke from 
opening because they are connected directly together. When you relase the 
pedal the choke closes and the fast idle cam is on its highest step. Now 
with you throttle foot stuck in you ear (because you do not want it on the 
gas pedal because that messes up auto choke operation. you turn the key till 
it starts which usuaully wont be much more than  WUMPO WUMPOWUMPO WUMPOWUMP. 
The engine should fire and run at fast idle (1700 to 2000 RPM ) on its own 
without touchingthe pedal . o If it is loading up the choke pull off is not 
pulling thechoke off enough and if it stalls the pull off is opening it too 
much. The choke should say on long enough to provide some sort of fast idle 
for at least 5 minutes. (On your watch! fine minutes in you head is often 
about 50 seconds. ) Then if you blip the throttle it should drop to normal 
idle and the choke blade should be comletley pen. if not something is not 
right and needs correcting.I dont know of choke adjustment and repair can be 
done by description but I am willling to try.
If you have a big camand such forget it and just mass the heck out f it till 
it is almost drowned then turn the key.
BTW Mashing or pumping the throttle while cranking is the best way to get a 
poor start. you are using up fuel before there is enough there so it doesnt 
reposnd. If youre pumping dont be cranking. If youre cranking dont be 
pumping.
On a car with an inactive choe crank to prime the float bwls , stop them 
pump the pedal to the floor slowy (I SAID SLOWLY not that stupid wiggle 
thing. )three times  then hold the throttle down 1/3 of the way and turn the 
key. it will start. You might on a monstoer have to do that twice. So there 
it choke and no choke starting. If you have a tendancy to pump while you 
cranking hit you foot with a large hammer. That will stop that tendancy.
