#232525 crwood (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Choke 2 Years, 3 Months ago   My choke knob will not stay out no matter how cold it is outside which leaves me hold it out till the RS warms up. I can't find any adjustment hints in my service manual. Any suggestions or tips?   Logged     Chris   The administrator has disabled public write access. #232528 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 6914 Re:Choke 2 Years, 3 Months ago   sometimes you can twist or turn it just a 1/4 turn and that helps, otherwise we had a thread going about 2 weeks ago about this same thing. Try doing a search on "choke" and look at the recent threads.   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #232535 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3110 Re:Choke 2 Years, 3 Months ago   crwood wrote: My choke knob will not stay out no matter how cold it is outside which leaves me hold it out till the RS warms up.

Turning that boot by the knob tightens down the hold on the choke cable. Play with it until you get the right amount of "stick".

It doesn't have to turn very much to get your enricher knob to stay.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #232624 stanag (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 356 Re:Choke 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I had the same problem several months ago. I took my choke cable apart at the knob end and found a detent ball that was worn flat about half way through. I purchased the correct size ball bearings and installed one to replace the worn out ball. This did the trick for me.

While your there have you trimmed the back of the choke knob? Did mine and noticed smoother. better idle.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #232926 crwood (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Re:Choke 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Thanks RSC.
