Re: Looking at new carb: man or elec choke?

I had my q-jet built about a month ago by http://www.smicarburetor.com/
on the advice of another member. It does work great. I have not spent the time to get the factory choke working properly, nor do I completely understand how the spring loaded rod turns off the choke other than by the temperature. Anyway shipping there and back plus the rebuild (factory)
with no appearance refurbishing was $230.00. I let him know a board member sent me and he didn't sound that interested, although he seemed like a great guy. I would let him know you were referred by the board in case we start to send him enough business maybe we can get a price break. I have a speed demon 750 double pumper that is brand new but ahs been sitting for a few years after being put on the dyno that I am going to get him to freshen up as well. My long winded .02 cents.
