willcolumbine Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Does anyone else have problems with their choke? When my car is warming up and I hit the gas the choke knob gets pulled in and the car splutters. Is their any way of adjusting the tension so the choke stays out or is there some other way of doing it that I haven't worked out? It's driving me crazy and makes it very difficult to drive! Cheers guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 On my GT6, you pull the choke knob out to where you want it, then give it about 1/4 of a turn clockwise to make it stick there.I've seen some here on the CT forum that have lost the twist-n-lock function & hold it out with a clothespin when in use.

Steve Cureton Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Check the surplus end of the choke cable isn't making contact with the throttle mechanism, I had this once giving some very quirky characteristics until I twigged what was causing it.

thescrapman Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 My spitfire still has the same peg it came with 20 years ago. I clip it to the column light switch.And for 20 years I have been asked, what's the peg for???:-)Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 The Stag has a twist and lock if it's any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcolumbine Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've given it a go and it dosen't seem to want to twist or lock! Looks like I might have to use a peg! I'm just a bit mistified by it. It used to stay out and had quite a lot of resistance to pushing it but now it goes almost all the way in the second I floor the throttle. I can't think how it can have changed characteristics so suddenly. I'll look into it when I have a look at the high idle problems I've been having recently...
