<VV> Carter YH choke "blink"

[Doug Mackintosh]

Yes, I meant pulloff, not unloader. 

As to why I think the blink happens when the choke is fully open, in a VV 
response to a query about a cough on acceleration, Craig Nicol said 
"Acceleration enrichment in the YH happens through the usual accelerator pump 
squirt, but that is the secondary system.  The primary system is the choke 
plate, which for lack of a better term, "Blinks" for a moment when the engine 
vacuum drops at the sudden opening of the throttle. After that, the pump shot 
occurs, which continues the enrichment." I don't think there was any suggestion 
that either the problem or the cause were restricted to cold engine conditions.

The blink is caused not by the unloader, but by the choke pull-off. the unloader 
is entirely mechanical.

What makes you think that there is a choke blink after the choke fully opens up 
and is held in position by the thermostatic coil? It shouldn't happen as far as 
I know. Please explain.
I would have thought that the unloader was no longer 
>affecting the choke position once warmed up.
again, you mean "pulloff" I think.
