Just curious how many wire their manual chokes open and if this is a bad thing to do?



On a properly tuned street motor it is not uncommon to experience lean back-fires within the intake during cold running without a functional choke, automatic or manual. Holley power valves don’t get along too well with these back-fires.

I have Aluminum heads with headers and a fully functional automatic choke, starts up perfectly warm or cold. No need to tickle anything when cold. That must be why the carburetor manufactures put those chokes there in the first place?
