Captain Lou, I just realized you are from Calgary as well, that makes 2 local people I know on here.
Good to see people from good ol' cowtown.

Captain Lou

a choke is a switch that closes part of the carb off so teh air/fuel mix is higher, to make cold starts easier

most cars have automatic chokes but many imports , like the early RX7's have manual chokes.


and yeah hey fellow calgarian

Hrm, so on a RX7, do you have to pop the hood and pull something, and it will return on it's own once it warms up?
Sorry, I have never seen a manual choke before.
Just curious, but my 86 626, it probably had one? Maybe that's why it didn't start so well in the cold.

Take out one of the sparkplugs and make sure it is four prong. The previous owner of my car did not know what he had.. and put regular spark plugs in it.. surprised it ran. Ran rough.. I changed the plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor and it runs really smooth and has way more power than when I bought it..
