	The black cover is the automatic choke with a heat pipe - the
covered tube.

You should be able to feel some spring tension by pushing on the choke
plate.

It is possible the choke and the bi-metal spring inside that cover are not
engage properly.

There should also be a mark on the choke cover that usually lines up with
one of the casting marks.

Loosen the 3 screws on the choke cover to see and feel if the choke plate
will move with the cover as it turns.

Secondary throttle plate should be closed, primary throttle plate should be
very near closed - this is the idle set

Here is a picture of the way it looks right now.  Shouldn't that throat
plate be in the closed position?  Or is it supposed to be open?  I wonder if
I have the choke attached incorrectly and it is keeping it open.
