[TR] TR3 choke

[Wbeech@flash.net]

George,
Yes, they are supposed to be that way.  Maybe Jonmac or Randall can explain the logic.   

As for the tubes not raising back into place as they should, two things that I always look at first are the springs in good tension and then remove the tubes(minding to keep the same tube with it's carb) and polish them with 4/0 steel wool.   If the jets are not centered this could hold the tubes out as well

All the best,

Just looking at my choke mechanism. I always thought that the arms that withdraw the jet assembly on my car were worn, as the holes that they pivot on are way oversize. Buy I just looked at another assembly I had lying around and that one also has oversize holes.

Are they supposed to be like that? It doesn't seem like the choke works very well.
