Choke plate

Mark in OG · Apr 24, 2010

First time building Ford 600 carburetor (Marvel TSX-580), choke plate has spring loaded flap. Ford manual show flap underneath choke rod, I tried several times and the best I could do was place it above rod. Will this work?

I have plate back as I found it, with flap on upper side on rod. It does not match up with Ford manual? Photo is before rebuild; choke closed. Plate has been like that for years, is there a trick to getting plate in correct position? Once the plate is inserted in choke rod, the plate it will only rotate about 90 degrees open to close; contacting tube side.

The picture shows the choke plate in properly. It just needs the spring installed to hold it closed.

This is from manual, looks to me that the flap (relief valve) in on bottom side of rod. It must have been working the way I have it installed above rod, but how well?

have posted about that drawing many times..........it is WRONG.
I have even altered it to show the correct position. I'll post the altered version again.

Dell likes to say, "carb drawings lie"........sometimes he is right.
