    Holley Carb electric choke problem

    I have a holley street avenger 670 with an electric choke that's screwing up. it's hanging up on the fast idle when you press the throttle. The end result is that it's kicking the rpms up, and running like shit.

    It will hang up on the high idle cam, but if you manually kick it down (with you finger), it will ratchet down, as you press it down, until it gets to the idle setting... until you blip the throttle again, then it kicks back up.

    What's the fix?

    Spoke w/ the Holley tech line, and they suggested that I might have either a bad cap, or I no longer have 12 volts going to the cap, or a bad ground.

    Guess I'll be trouble shooting that.

        That is how a choke is supposed to work. When it's cold It's going to engage the fast idle when you excite the choke and squirt the motor. as it reaches temp you blip the throttle and it comes off the fast idle.

          The power wire to the choke had somehow disconnected @ the power source, and it was in a hard to see spot, not to mention I wasn't exactly looking for it as the cause.

          I just didn't realize what was going on.
