I'm wondering if the choke is opening up too quickly as I have a "flat spot" upon accelerating when the engine is still quite cold (water temperature gauge hasn't moved off the "cold" peg yet). I have to slowly creep across intersections until it warms up almost all the way. Can I bend the rod going from the bi-metallic spring to the carb...or can the tension of the spring be adjusted tighter?
