Ah, I see what you mean Steeveedee. My bag of ice trick at least allowed me to see what is going on between all the outer hardware.

I can say that I can get it into of fast idle and the choke closes pretty good. Then as I am starting it, I see it flutter then just a bit open once the engine starts. During fast idle stays there, slightly cracked (I have the power lead off the coil so it doesn't move the choke plate). Then when I connect the choke coil power lead, the choke plate moves open, I tap the throttle, fast idle disengages and the choke plate is 100% open.

So it seems the mechanics seem to be working like they should or at least the way that I think I understand it.

Now... how will this play out tomorrow morning at 6am I don't know. What I need to do is get my remote push starter on & working but I haven't ever connected it, I am kind of scared to connect it - like I'll blow up my starter or something LOL
