choke question
« on: July 17, 2005, 11:25:02 AM »
when the engine is at operating temp and you take off the air cleaner top off should the choke be fully open (straight up) mine is 3/4 closed at all times i'm thinking this is why i failed smog test at 2500 rpm's but not idle

And the "smog tech" couldn't see/tell
you this??? , I would think of going
someplace else, unless they are going
to test again for free
