The coke pull of opens the choke a predetermined amount when the car starts. 
On some cars it is an external vaccum daphram with a hose going to manifold 
vacuum on the carb (below the throttle plates) On other carbs it is built 
into the choke housing and tends toalways work unless it gets gummed up 
badly. It is much harderto adjust . On an external one. Start the car as i 
described before by pumpming the peadl once then with fot in you ear  or 
smewhere otherthan on the pedal start the engine. have the aorcleaner off . 
once the engone starts open the choke till the motor runs smoothly without 
stalling or pufffing. That is where you need the choke pull off to pull it 
to. There is a wire link on the external vauum doaphram ones that can be 
bent to adjust how much pull off the choke pull off gives. It might take you 
a couple of trys but it is doable. Most shops wont know any of this stuff. 
Mostly cause it doesnt interest them. During my early years i ran a 
specialty tune up shop with an earlyu chassis dyno , gas analyzer and 
osscilliscope. I spent a lot of time , everyday , doing carb repair and on 
things just like this. There is no balck magic to carbs. There are only six 
circuits and they all have to work properly. Nothing is accidental or magic. 
Just cold hard facts and adjustments. It either is right or it isnt. If the 
diaphram is not pulling the choke of replace it. Bob sent me pics and that 
is a real good way to allow me to help and see what is going on. Fopr those 
who are intimidated by carbs and chokes dont be. Once you learn you wil 
never have one come through the door you cant fix. The more you do the wiser 
you become.
