Re: [AMC-list] choke on Carter BBD 8302S on AMC 1981 Spirit 6 cyl 258

You may not be getting a good ground on the body of the carburetor.  I had 
this happen once on an after-market carburetor.  Try running a ground wire 
from a known good ground to the body of the carburetor, and see if your 
results change.
