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

Need to understand this choke system. When it is cold should the choke be pulling down on the rod or pushing up?

I had a divorce choke and when it got warm it pulled down that seemed to be closing the plate. I put on an electric choke and it is pulling down also when it gets warm. Does the plate need to open all the way when the engine is hot and running if so why would the choke be pulling down when hot??

Both chokes are working or pulling when hot but they seem to pulling the plate closed and not pushing it open.

I need help!
