Using manual choke

[fookongmick]

I drive a Daihatsu Charade G100 that is carburatored.

My car does not come with auto choke so during cold starts, how long should I have the choke on?

usually until its reached normal engines operating temp. look at ur temp. gauge.

no prob if u have thermostat but if u do not have a thermostat, it will takes longer.

cheers.

as long as it idles properly enough already, or until the temperature needle starts to climb.
