 pF>  I wonder how many people here have had a car with a manual choke?

Car no, but motorcycle, yes.  I rode across the country on one,
and did a lot of wrenching on that bike.  My 2011 Harley is a
much better machine, but I do kinda miss the more manual side.

The guy down the street from me got a Moto Guzzi, but it was clear
he didn't know how it worked.  One day, he was trying to start it
and it wasn't going; I said to him, "you flooded the choke" as I
was walking by on the sidewalk and poor guy had no idea what I
was talking about.
