what is "FWIW"???

i am well aware of what you said about the choke and driveability (edit: though i've only recently given the function and operation of things like chokes much thought), however i find that not being able to start my car does affect driveability quite drastically. i can't start it in the cold without running it really, really rich because i can't close the choke

i'm hoping that a new accelerator pump and or carb rebuild will solve hesitation, and a functional choke will allow for use of the car at a wider range of temperatures

when i get that figured out, time to access my engine situation
