4180-c 4brl problems

i have a 4180-c holly carb 4brl that the eletric choke is taking the indel adjustment strait to fast idel. It will not let the carb and motor warm up. I dont know how to adjust it. can any one help. It takes me 15min in the morning before i can drive it. if I try to drive it it just stalls out.Im just about to go buy a new one. it is on a 87 bronco 5.8l

There are rivots that need to be drilled out and screws installed to move the choke cap to adjust it.
If you already have it loose, then you need to adjust it so that the flap closes with just a little tension on it when you open the throttle. It should start to open right after you start it then be fully open in a couple of minutes.
