Electric choke question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

From a cold start the choke works ok, seems to me like it takes longer than it should before it finally fully kicks down. But today was over 60 outside, i drove for probably 30-45 minutes then parked and went into the store for maybe 10 minutes max and when i started my truck the choke is on and took another few minutes to kick down...is it just an adjustment needed?

We will need to know what kind of carb and where the choke is being powered from. A picture of it is always helpful.

Holley vacuum secondary on a motor that i have no info on internals but sounds stock. I replaced my wiring harness with AAW. Im on Dad duty at the moment with a sick little girl but can get some better pics tomorrow

Losen the screws on the choke houseinf and turn the electric choke housing counter clock wise a bit.
Then test.
You can also adjust to open when the engine warms up. Those hash marks on the casing are indicator marks for reference.
