[Roadsters] Another Carb problem

[hallosb at juno.com]

That's back wards.

You pull the choke to start your engine. When you pull the choke, it restricts
the air flow into the carburetor thereby enriching the fuel mixture. You need
to enrich the mixture when the engine is cold.

As the engine warms up, you push the choke in. When the engine is warm, you no
longer need the choke.

Modern cars with fuel injection usually have an extra injector called a cold
start injector. Same concept. The cold start injector temporarily enrichs the
cold engine to start it. Once the engine is warm it shuts off.

I swapped out the carbs on a 1966 1600 (some of you might be familiar with
"Amy's" car) To start the choke is in (off) and to drive it is out (on). If I
leave the choke in it pops and sputters, too lean I am assuming. If I try and
start the car with it out it floods out. I always thought it was the other way
around, choke out to start choke in to drive once it warms up that is. Any
idea what is going on here? The car is orange but yellow might have been more
appropriate...
