No, its not the choke. Been there done that. The choke works great, in
fact if the choke where to stay on all the time it wouldnt stall. If
you put your hand over the carb after it is warmed up and stalling the
idle will come up a stop it from stalling. Yes, I know it sounds like a
vacuum leak. I've been there and done that two. Thats why its still
doing what its doing after two years of triing everything this side of
replacing the EGR. Lefty
