Electric choke adjustment

Just noticed that my choke wasnt opening all the way at operating temp. I was going to adjust mine and noticed a screw that directly opened or closed the choke a little bit, in addition to rotating the choke housing. What do i set first?


(its not fast idle screw)

also, sometimes rotating the choke housing doesnt let it close or open all the way

The screw you have pointed to should adjust how much the choke plate closes.

The choke cap will not move the choke until the throttle is depressed.

Adjust the choke cap so the choke plate is about half open at room temp.

The carb looks to be a Chinese knock off. If it is all bets are off as to it's proper operation or functionality and the above may or may not be applicable as the carb may or may not work as it is supposed to..
