Default 1964 Tripower Center Carb Choke Question
Performance years rebuilt my carbs last summer. By the way they look and have performed great! With this said, recently my choke stays open and will not close even when cold. When I try to move gently with my fingers, it seems to be stuck. I can only move it very little. Any ideas? Choke piston issue? Look forward to feedback.
Thanks

Thanks! Removed cover, pulled on piston linkage and was able to free it up, seems to work fine now. Did not see any debris etc in piston area. Should this be lubricated?

No, it should not be lubricated.
