so hit gas once in morning starts right up but then will keep revving up until i tap gas and get a couple of different stages of the choke i have cleaned and lubed all linkages but only worked once after that so is it out of adjustment or just tired? And how does it adjust?

That is the nature of electric chokes. They have a fast-idle cam that will set the primary throttle plate slightly open for cold-running. If you don't tap the gas to release the fast-idle cam and the choke plates, the engine will simply climb in idle speed as it warms and stay there. Such is the nature of carbs I'm afraid - you can't just walk away from them. Sounds like it's working just fine.

 

Personally, I've always had so much trouble with electric choke's in general - breaking, electrical short's, mis-adjustment, etc - that I just went to a manual choke. Now I can set the choke, start the engine, and immediately drive away. I just adjust the choke down in stages for the first mile or two and then shut it off completely. Really isn't much fuss for me. I would never give one to the woman (she would forget to shut it off) but it works great for me.
