<VV> Good Corvairian

[NicolCS at aol.com]

It's cool that your unconventional description "flippy thing" leads us  
directly to the correct item and term; the "choke flapper dapper".   Usually these 
things get all gucked up with dried fuel, oil, dirt, carbon, bugs,  and the 
like.  The common cure is to purchase a can of aerosol carburetor  cleaner, 
remove the air cleaner, and alternately spray and flip until the chokes  move 
freely.  Clean the mechanism inside and outside of the carburetor.  Sometimes a 
200# gorilla has bent the little rods that sprout from each head  leading to an 
inop flapperdapper.  Carefully bend the rods into  straight sections with 
tight angles (aka not bent like mangled  spagetti) so that the last little 90 
degree bend enters the "choke  flapperdapper" nice and straight and doesn't have 
to be "sprung" to get it to go  into the flapperdapper's hole.  When you get 
all done, the springs in the  head should easily and fully close the choke 
plates - oops, er I mean flapper  dappers.
