qauadrajet choke question

[strombolichef]

I have a quadrajet 17059292 and am rebuilding as the last step of rebuilding my mercruiser 83 5.7l.
There is a choke pull off, but I no other choke mechanism or coil etc. on the carburator or manifold etc.
I am having a tough time figuring out if there is a piece missing (the choke), or if the choke pull off is all there should be there.

There is no electric or manual choke cable etc. on the boat.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

There should be a choke on it. Take a few pic's of your carb and post them.

Should be a manifold mounted choke coil spring with a linkage going to the carb. Looks like it on the manifold in that picture of the right side of the carb. They're bad about the coil spring rusting up, breaking, and/or coming loose.

You can get an electric choke conversion kit for about $50:

The choke is there,
In the picture below, A is the linkage that hooks internally to B.
C is the choke coil and linkage that also attaches to B to work the choke open and closed.
Go up to the Adults Only sticky at the top of the forum, Locate the manual links and download the manual for your engine (#3 I would guess). There is a section devoted to that carb.
