<VV> ADJUSTMENT of auto choke linkage

[Mark Durham]

To add to Matt's choke adjustment thoughts, also make sure your fast idle
adjustment is set right. The chokes provide the rich mixture to get the car
started, but the fast idle must raise the engine speed enough that it will
stay running and not stall on you. Mark Durham
