>My experience is that on a completely cold engine, (overnight) if it
will start without a choke, the mixture is a bit too rich. Maybe the jet
adjusting nuts could be leaned a bit or the choke linkage isn't
completely releasing. (Jets not returning to their full up position
when the cable is released.) Not a serious problem as long as you are
happy with the way it runs.

Dave,
Along these same lines,my BJ8 will not start without choke, however, I do
not think it is adjusted correctly and am not happy with the idle as the
engine warms up.
Frankly, this basic adjustment is somewhat of a mystery to me and I do not
know how to correctly adjust my choke. I am familiar with the slow idle and
jet adjusting screws.
Could you or someone on the list be instructive concerning choke
calibration?
Currently, when I have full choke applied on a cold engine it coughs and
sputters barely maintaining 1000 RPM with noticeable black smoke out the
back! This transitions to a nice idle and no smoke as the engine warms.
Any tips greatly appreciated.
