Does the choke allow the the engine to have more air or more fuel when the engine is cold and the choke is working properly?

 

less air, which i suppose would draw more fuel too

 

It blocks off air flow through the primaries and in turn the there is more availible fuel to mis with less air= richer mixture

 

Ok, because my engine is running really rich right now and I was wondering if having the choke unhooked would allow it to have more air or not while I am tweaking with it. It doesn't go anywhere so I am not worried about the drivabilty of it.

 

having it unhooked would not allow the choke element to opperate correctly...when it's set for a while outside see if the flap is in the closed position......as the engine warms up it'll slowly open but when it's hooked up it uses elec current to heat a coil up to allow the choke to release

 

Ok, yea I felt the choke housing the other day after I had been playing with the car. I still have to properly adjust it yet. I just havn't taken the time to do it.

 

It needs to be wide open when the engine is warmed up to run properly.
