Varajet 2 on an '83VH.
Basically, when the engine/choke cools down, it can't close because the teeth on that plate stops it from lowering. Of course it can open OK, because the plate moves up and the screw just slides down the teeth.
Only way for it to close is if I pump the gas, which take the pressure of that screw and lets the lever drop (to where it is in the picture, with the screw resting on the top tooth)
My questions is - is this normal? You just have to pump the gas before starting carb cars, so the choke closes?
Or is something not working right here and it should be able to close on it's own?
