Cold weather flooding

Well, I filled up a couple days ago after having put the strip in to hold the butterflies open. Got about 16 mpg!!! I don't think I will be messing with the choke at this time as it is running too good...

BTW: Only the front butterflies are the choke. The butterflies on the rear are secondary air valve and don't act as a choke. With them held open it'll hesitate bad when you floor it.

HA - I haven't gone over 45 with it in months... I did floor it to see what would happen, it backfired through the carb, hesitated and then picked up speed.
Thanks to everyone that gave me tips earlier.
