There's nothing wrong with it, but I usually put it around 2k initially, and then lower it to 1500 after a few minutes, its not bad to have it all the way out, but theres no real point to it either. so short answer, put it around 2k.

I'll throw my 2-cents in.
Use as much choke as it takes to get it started and no more. Once it starts, back it off until it will idle without racing, or dying. For me, that's around 1500 RPM. Experience will tell you how much choke you need to use, and every car is different. -Mike
