All Choked Up

Is the secondary pull-off valve arm supposed to ride on top of the choke linkage. My choke doesn't want to work and this seems to be what is keeping it from working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I went ahead and bent the secondary pull-off mount to where it doesn't interfere with the choke and it's running great. I guess it was ok to do that, but let me know if it wasn't.

I'd guess you don't have the right pull-off can for that carb. I've never seen one that had to be bent that way, and the can looks really low to me.

yeah...the car has alot of shade tree modifications and I'm having to sort them all out. It's a real pain since I don't know how it looked to begin with.

From a post down the page a bit. Maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

Yea, it looks a lot like the one on my Caprice LG4 (pretty much same carb, though)
