well after swapping parts to a buddy for what he said was a holley 350, checking the numbers it turned out to be a 500. i had to do something my stock feedback carb with metering block wasnt acting right, so i went to summit and got a new 350cfm carb. it took me a while to get it right as i had some carb stud and choke clearance problems, tried the holley studs and they stripped, so i cut down the stock one. anyways it has the manual choke. first off how do i use it? like a 4wheeler choke before start and when it shuts off crank with choke off? or do u leave it on for a while?

heres why i ask, when i start it with the choke on the idle raises and then it stalls out. and with the choke off when its cold its a bitch to keep running until it warms up. how do i set the choke so it does right? any other time it cranks right up
 
pull the choke all the way out(closed), once it fires push it in a little, just enough so it doesn't die, then let it warm up for a bit and you should be alright to push the knob all the way back in (open)
 
yep....chilly days--choke it....watch rpms & open the choke just enuff to keep the engine at about 1,200 rpm as the engine warms up--open the choke a little more to keep the rpms at 1,200 until the choke is all the way open....you'll get the hang of ot after a few times...:headbang:
