CHOKE?? that was first thing I removed from carb!. Any way after spending all day at Carlisle I drove back got my turkey baster injector and injected fuel into metering rod area. Got it to idle and shot pressure into my tank from air hose. Bam! 5psi and took it on a 2 mile drive! Added 6 More Gallons of 93 in tank no leaks. New carb out of box has car running like a dream.
