Or as Nitrous mentioned you may have the wrong choke / rod beer


On a cold motor (sitting overnite)
IF you remove disconnect the clip,
remove the rod from the choke
It should spring upwards.
If it does not, that is why the choke is not closing.
See above post.
from what I could see in your picture, the rod appears straight up which would indicate you may have an adjustable post, (see above)
Or you have the wrong Choke assembly and or Rod.
