When it's cold :
you hold the acellerator in the full on position.
The choke butterfly should close (without help or any effort) to leave a 2mm (1/8") opening to the airhorn of the carb.
The fast idle circuit is mixed in with the choke lever.
Watch for binding, bad adjustments in the levers,
Sorry, I don't have a pic of the 2v holley to show you

no lube just carb cleaner, it has a small amount of oil in it, its all a carb needs.....this holley on your rig, is it even an automatic choke?? or is it a manual choke?? mil1on is right about the pushing the throttle, if its automatic choke, personally i take the choke fins off my holleys, usually only takes a couple touches of the pedal to prime it,i hold the rpms up manually, and it only takes a couple mins to get the motor idleing good......but thats me and im different like that
