Lol I was waiting for a comment like this from you! Alas, um keeping the Carb... I'll adjust it tonight after work.. see if I can get down quicker...Fix the choke. You have the ability to " lean" the choke setting, therefore speeding up the pull off time it's in fast idle mode.
Or, you can always convert it back to EFI...I'm sure that would be waaay easier than just turning the 3 screws to allow the choke housing to spin.
While you're converting it back to EFI, may as well take the opportunity to rebuild that engine while your at it, since converting it back to EFI makes so much sense.
It's like this. Lets do a comparison shall we?
You, and Frankie fuel injection are sitting side by side in the parking lot of the apt complex you both live in. It's 6:00 am, 27 degrees out and you're both late for work. You have removed your choke. You swat the pedal twice, and fire that sucker up, it starts right off, but because there is no choke, it dies as soon as you let it idle. To keep it from doing that, all you have to do is hold it at 1200 rpm for one minute. From there on, you kinda have baby the throttle, because it wants to bog because the engine temp hasn't reached 100 degrees yet.
Frankie fuel injection gets in his car and turns the key. The car starts instantly, and he backs up and leaves the lot in a hurry( he is late as well) only because he doesn't have a carb that had the choke removed, he isn't still sitting in the lot,... Holding the throttle at 1200 rpm so the motor won't die.
Guess who gets to work first?
Fix the choke. Removing it will be the first step towards a bad carb experience.
I get your point, but my car will never be driven in weather like that. Its a garage queen that sees days in the 70-100 degree range. And it only goes from my house( no apartment thank you), to work... 15 minutes away. So, I will adjust the idle ... for now.. but I really don't need a chokeIt's like this.

Your math is all wrong. My car will be warm enough a mile into the drive that it'll idle just fine, but it won't matter because i'll be driving that SOB at WOT blowing Frankie fuel injection's doors off, and i'll get to work before him because he's a tree hugging hippie who won't accelerate too hard because he's worried about his carbon footprint.
