choke problems

since the 2 months ago when my truck went down for the brake booster it has gotten colder. it seems my electric choke isnt closing like it should. the truck idles rough until i reach opperating temperature(when the thermostat opens).i checkes the choke and it was full open. i know to set it you tap the gas pedal before starting the engine. it should close the choke, right?? well it doesnt. and it takes forever to get it warm.. all the wireing apears to be okay. id like to get it working so i dont get stranded on my way to work.

You may need an adjustment if it just doesn't close enough. If it does not even try to close some major cleaning or choke replacement may be in order.

Thanks for using FTE!

choke problems

triple check all your carb linkage...I installed the throttle pump linkage on backwards, but my problem was overchoking, just something else to think about...
