I had auto-chokes on a number of cars and on at least two I had the need to 
make them work effectively.  It is normally possible to alter the fast idle 
speed on most auto-chokes.  Haynes usually provides instructions on how to 
maintain and adjust this type of choke.  If you do not have the manual then 
assuming that this is water temperature controlled rather than electric, look 
for an adjustment screw in the vicinity of an object that will have water pipes 
going to and from it and screw in said adjuster a fraction.  Judge the effect 
on the next cold start to see if more adjustment is necessary to achieve a 
stable cold start speed.  Do not overdo this or you will be running at < 7 
miles/gallon for much longer whilst on the choke.

Have an auto choke on my 2+2 & my starting the car procedure consists of one 
pump of the throttle, turn the key & it will start immediately but I do then 
have to feather the throttle for 10 > 20 seconds until it decides to tick over 
with my input & then good to go (except for my ongoing clutch issue).
I'm also getting some smoke on cold start up so have purchased a set of valve 
stem seals of the top hat design which will be fitted next week.
If funds were available I would be looking for a manual choke conversion 
kit...or better still fuel injection!

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.
