Gary, something is definitely off there, as the Spitfire choke SHOULD work as any other: pull out for a cold start, and push fully home for normal running.
As I really don't know much about how the choke works on a Stromberg, I'm copying some e-mail Triumph lists in hopes that someone else can advise.

When I pull the choke out it runs great when warm but if I push it in rpm's go down and it shut the engine off. Any thoughts? thanks, Gary _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected]
