<VV> Turbo Electric Choke adjustment

[Derek Archer]

	My Spyder (when I bought it) has an electric choke on it and the old 
choke air lines disconnected. (I think it is the same one that Clark's 
sells) It works just fine, but it seems like, when it is closed and the 
engine is fast idling, some smoke comes out the tailpipe and the 
exhaust sounds and smells like it is running very rich. It even acts 
like it is running rich when I first start moving down the street and 
accelerate. Also, it absolutely refuses to kick down from fast idle, 
which results in a sort of involuntary cruise control (I have the fast 
idle set around 1500 rpm), until it warms up enough to open the choke 
all the way, which sometimes seems like it takes a LOOOOOONG time on 
the road, but it opens fairly quickly when idling in my driveway, but 
still sometimes won't kick down readily. I can't seem to understand the 
adjustment procedure for the choke and fast idle system in the shop 
manual. If anybody has had any experience with these electric chokes 
and getting the choke to open quick enough to get the fast idle cam out 
of range of the linkage to allow the engine to idle normally without 
the "cruise control" effect, your advice would be greatly appreciated.
