This electric choke crap is starting to get on my nerves. Anyone have any special tricks on how to properly adjust it? After driving the car for 5 minutes or so, everything clears up. During start up (even after it's been warmed up) is when my car dies, misses, etc.

When the car is warmed up, and i put it in reverse it dies. After the 3rd try, i can manage to rev it a little in reverse and go for a ride and everything is fine. It seems that it only happens when the engine has cooled down. Any thoughts? I have a Summit 600 carb on my 289.
