CHOKE TROUBLE-1985 E150 Van

I experience choke troubles on my carbureated 1985 E150 Ford 302. When the temperature is below about 45F degrees, the choke seems to stick until the engine is very warm, once sufficiently warmed up, it will operate fine. At other times, it has been hard to start until I held the choke in the open position while someone else started the van up. It does have 203,000 miles on it and as far as I know, the carbureator/choke has never been worked on. Is this a simple adjustment or should I take to somebody who is qualified to do this type of work and have the choke worked on? I have used cleaner to clean off all of the linkage and made sure that none of it was binding, checking the rubber vacuum hoses, etc. Also, what is the best material to install under the carpet and inside the body panels to help reduce road noise? I have a window/passenger type van. I have seen items for sale in the J.C. Whitney catalog, and was wondering what does the best job. Thank You. Don

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Feb-02 AT 11:10 AM (EST)]Perhaps its time to install an electric choke as it seems the one on there is getting weak >they do that once they get old you know<

Carpet insulation

They make an underpad for them.
