Hi Guys, Yes, I have my chokes hooked up and the car starts great here in foggy/cool Pacifica.But we don"t get below 40 degrees either, and it"s usually about 50-60 when I start the car, so I"m not the best test case. I will say that when I rebuilt the carbs last year the dirtiest area was the choke on each carb.Each one was pretty filthy, and they also have little screens that were plugged up -- I had to spend a lot of time to clean everything properly.I was surprised on starting for the first time that the car started right up as I touched the starter.But I had also adjusted the valves, tightened the chains and cleaned the points and plugs so it was probably a combination of everything. Cheers, Fred
