if too rich adjust choke leaner if too lean, adjust choke righer. from 1920 to about 1988 , usa, 70 years we did this. no more. well we do, but most dont now. i still have 1 twin carb motor cycle and one single carb VW 1968. both restored. also the chock heater must work and the choke spring not old. the old bi-metal spring that is old become lazy,/crazy. kick it to the curb for best experiences. if water heated choke the water actually must flow here. if not, it will fail. there are 3 common types. electric, needs 12v. water, needs 180F hot water actual flow. and exhaust choke stove heater.
