Ok it doesnt look too bad. Unhook the choke rod coming up to the
manifold
and remove the choke spring from the manifold. You wil see it is

lossen the nut and give it just enough more to help the choke close a
bit
more tightly or firmly. that may be all you need. Reinstall and we will
try
from there. Don
