Pardon my ignorance...

What is "choke"? I know it's a little lever on most gas engines, but what is it techically?

What is a "divorced choke"? Is it what you do when you're real mad at your ex? Seriously, what is it?

What is the technical purpose of the heat riser between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe?

What is the purpose of the stove pipe between the driver's exhaust manifold and the air cleaner?

Thanks in advance for making me more smarter.
