Does anyone out there run a slant six with electric choke? There's someone on ebay who sells them for $50, and I'm curious as to how much it really helps reduce stalling and rough idle.

The choke only has an effect when the engine is cold. Once warmed up, the choke is out of the picture. If yours is stalling and running rough when warm a choke won't help a thing.

It might be better to check your carb and intake manifold gaskets for fuel/air/vacuum leaks instead of the electric choke. Like Rusty said once your engine is warmed up the choke won't help.
 
Vixen has a nice electric choke on her Quick Fuel 450, but I don't have it hooked up and it's wide open. She busts right off and will idle within 20 seconds.

Yeah, but it isn't fair that GA doesn't get as cold as we further north do, either.

Yeah, you'd think they would like warm weather. I know, some lefty will call me racist for using "they" but you know I didn't mean it like that.
 
Now while you're talkin about snow, I gotta go move two trucks so I can cut grass around um.
 
you don't want snow. It's novelty wears off by the time your in your 20s. Snow means work, snow means salty roads and RUST......
Id SO MUCH rather mow grass than blow snow. Any day.

I just got done with the grass. Or rather weeds. They always come up first in the season and then the Bermuda grass comes up with a vengeance and just kills the **** outta everything that ain't grass. lol
 
Mine does the opposite. Comes up real nice at the beginning and then about mid season the crabgrass takes over and chokes out the nice grass. I've poured so much time and crabgrass preventer into this place in ready to plow it all under and start over
