I wouldn't go for a new carb. Just fix the choke, but really you shouldn't need a choke in San Jose if the carb is tuned right. Here in the San Fernando Valley with a similar climate I disabled my choke 21 years ago (and on the '69 I had for years before that) but left the high idle cam. It always starts right up (even fasted after I added Electronic Ignition) No need for a fuel wasting choke here IMO -BA
