do your guys hot rods start right up when the engine is cold, or does it take a couple cranks sometimes?

Also, I checked out the edelbrock site, and that is the same thing that is in the manual that came with the carb.
It doesn't say anything about how to make the choke plate stop at the proper spot.
The wording makes it sound like it tells you, but it refers to bending a certain linkage rod, which only effects the movement of the fast idle cam, not the choke plate.
I've kind of gotten mine set up so that I pull it out all the way and then I back off a certain amount, but I'd rather just have to pull it out and know it is in the right spot every time.
