[AT] More engine issues

[Ben Wagner]

I'll let you know what happens; it'll be later tonight since I'm running to
town this afternoon.  I was looking up my problem yesterday afternoon, and I
pulled up this quote:

"A motor that runs good cold [ without the choke ] is not going to run good
hot. A cold motor needs lots of gas droplets in the combustion chamber so
that the individual gas droplets burn somewhat consecutively and the motor
runs somewhat smoothly. Once the motor gets hot the gas in the combustion
chamber flashes to vapor and burns very well unless you have too much then
it misfires."

I haven't heard anything like this before mentioning the choke.  Is this a
true statement?   I can't find much else backing it up.
