Even before fuel injection many had an 'automatic'
choke that you had to disengage by a little tromp
to stop engine racing during warm-up.
Well, not exactly 'had to'. I watched from my apt
balcony after someone started such a car. I watched
the lady clean all the snow off while the engine warmed
up, probably red-lining the whole time. Probably her
hubby had told her to let it warm up before putting
it in gear, which caused a major CLUNK then CHIRP
then barely audible clicks as she tried to re-start.
Her car likely needed an adjustment on the carburetor.
They were pretty complicated devices though.
