Hi all, newbie here so go easy. I yesterday started my Rover 3.5 for the first time using a QFT 4.5 cfm carbie and it ran fine. This morning I had trouble starting it so I hooked up the electric choke ( it wasn’t hooked up initially). I eventually got it started but it reved really high. I’m wondering whether the choke might have gotten stuck on?
Any ideas
Thanks

Re: Reving engine at idle.
possibly, or it's not setup or adjusted correctly.
Chokes can also open the throttle little more for a higher idle as well as adjusting things so the engine gets a little richer. ( whether blocking airflow to achieve this, or increasing fuel, or a combination ?

Re: Reving engine at idle.
How about the basics? Is there enough return spring on everything to make everything fully close?
