Thanks Super. I've used that method and several bubba versions of it that I've found on the you tube. I've scoured the interwebs to no avail. Except for a tip on bending the choke rod, but I don't think that will do what I want it to do.

Most of the info the interwebs has presented me with pre-supposes your necessary choke spring pre-load is somewhere in the index area of the housing. Following that method the choke stays "choking" entirely too long, along with the fast idle for way too long.

For reference, my ideal choke spring preload has the index mark just outside the top mount screw, a good half inch beyond the last index mark to the lean side.

My setup needs less choke, on for less time, which I have achieved, but needs more fast idle time than the the fast idle cam can give me. I'm on the edge of choke-ability (if you will and my engine would probably respond well to a Q series QFT or similar, but as I said, trying to minimize hot rod quirks.
