I just put a rebuilt edlebrock carb on my 350 motor, and the choke doesn't seem to work. It's closed with power off or on. I can adjust it open but then it doesn't close. linkage all seems to be loose. warm up the engine, and the choke doesn't move over maybe 1/4". If I could find a 22 ft choke cable, or pto cable affordable, I would put on a manual choke. Does anyone know anything about redoing these electric chokes, or even what to look for as a problem. Engine runs great as long as I adjust the choke as it warms up. Carb came off a frozen motor very low hrs. Hired a mechanic friend to check out and clean the carb up. He said it all looked brand new, but I had him go thru it anyway. I can't get ahold of him very easy anymore to ask him. Plus I'm cheap.
