I have always converted mine to manual choke and not had any problems
apart from once forgetting to push it back in, affected the fuel
consumption somewhat, whoops.

Hi I have aways wondered if the (cheaper) manual choke version wouldn't be a
better bet. More control. Anyone running the manual? What do you think? I am
contemplating buying a new carb for one of our three Q's.

On my Saloon - CVH running A weber Twin Choke...
Pressing the Accelerator Initially set the Fast Idle Speed control and (squirts
a little extra fuel in).
The Auto Choke holds the choke butterfly valve(s) closed when Cold and as the
car warms up the Auto Choke mechanism allows the Valve(s) to open up.
Once warm firmly pressing the Accelerator releases the Fast Idle Speed Control
and the engine speed drops back to normal Idle.
I agree with the others, Auto Chokes are Tempermental and my need a little
extra accelerator when staring to keep the engine running until its warm.
If you take the Air Intake Filer off you can see the chokes / Fast Idle change.
The attached is a very good Troubleshooting Guide for Weber Carbs

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Auto Choke on 2+2
Me again! My car has an auto choke. I've looked around the steering wheel and I
couldn't see anything to pull out. Anyway. This morning (before I started the
engine) I pressed the accelerator pedal a few times and THEN I started the
engine. However. It cut out pretty much straight away. Am I doing it right?
Pumping the pedal before I start the engine, then start the engine? I also get
some smoke out of the exhaust. I take it that's normal though? Cold morning's?
Thanks again for all your help and advice.
