Pull switch under dash

Hey guys! When I bought my truck I noticed it had this random lever under the dash. After following the cables I saw it was attached to the passenger side of the carb. I am not sure exactly what it does. If I pull it while in idle, nothing. If I pull it while driving it almost sounds like the engine stalls, but when I push it back it continues like nothing happened. Thoughts?
Attached are the images of the switch in the cab and of the cable and the linkage ion the carb.

Thanks!
Ethan N

It is a manual choke. if the engine is heated up, it would make a rich mixture causing the stalling sound. only use when warming up in the morning.
