Jim,
The choke plate goes full vertical like normal once the engine is warm enough.
All I am doing is limiting the closing point of the choke plate as the red lever just comes up and rests against the donut which keeps the choke plate from fully closing. I can set it as shown for the warmer temps and just pull off a few pieces of tape to allow it to close farther for the cooler temps. My setup does not like the choke plate to be fully closed even in cooler temps (50's in my case) so I came up with this method.
