[TR] TR3A Choke Question

[Thomas Fansher]

Jim, I agree that enriching one flat at a time is the way to go.  Jere Dotten taught me a long time ago that the easiest way to pull the choke is to fully engage the accelerator pedal while doing so...that way all the choke is doing is pulling down the jet. Also, the choke on the 3 has three settings, the first is just fast idle, the second click should enrich the mixture a little, and then full choke enriches the mixture the full amount. Makes things a lot easier.  I finally ready to see the “new 3” - need the room for the TR4 rebuild that I’ve put off way too long.
Hope this helps
