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.

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! Paul On Tuesday, 2 October 2012 11:40:37 UTC+1, SMIDG3T wrote: 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. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
