    Choke not closing on rebuilt quadrajet

    As Frankenchevy Suggested, I tried to adjust the choke turning the dial on the electric/thermostatic? choke. The choke is wide open and the adjuster does not move the choke. Am I correct in thinking it is either improperly installed (the "mechanic" replaced it), or else the spring is broken...
