Flooding at Cold Start, Edelbrock 1407 on a 383

[cadillac_al]

After cold start up my Edlebrock choke will not open until I blip the throttle once. It does not have a normal choke pull off like a Qjet. I gather it is supposed to have some kind of internal vacuum operated choke pull off but I haven' t figured it out yet. When I start it, I let it blubber for about 2 seconds, blip the throttle to let the choke open 1/4" and it will sit and idle like it is supposed to. This is the only time I miss my Qjet but I have put up with it for 4 years now. Just a minor annoyance. If you aren't blipping your throttle after start up, then I don't see how your choke is supposed to open. Watch it next time you start it.
