yesterday when I first cranked it and it warmed up to ?160? maybe, I "BLIPPED IT" and the idle dropped from 1000 to 700 but by the time I took it down the road and parked it the idle was back up to 1000 - - - "war Dept's got plans today" so I may not get to even touch it today but tomorrow's Sadeeee and I get a half day of my own (?most of the time?) - - - maybe then I can really get a look at what the choke is doing - - - damned eyes aren't helping any either.

have a good'un Roger,

If you find the fast idle cam did come back up - then verify the power didn't cut out to the electric choke...
