Thanks, you are right, last car I had with a manual choke was my Vauxhall Victor FB 1503cc.
Everything since has had an automatic choke or has been injection/ecu controlled.

I wish I could BA to enter those figures for the needles into Excel and bring up a graph to visualise them. Must go to be now though as I will be up at 06oo tomoz to get to London at a reasonable hour.

MG Metro would have BDL needle as standard, you are needing more fuel at low revs because the cam makes it inefficient there so you'll need to modify it at the top with Brasso or fine wet and dry to allow more fuel in.
Could try Landy V8 needles or Rover v8 (BBG) probably be nearer to what you need for tuned motor.
All good fun

They do make a nice step key ring for the choke on the bay of fleas. Stops the chicke closing if the trust function is not working

Or use a wooden peg
