I like manual chokes -- they work when you want them, and they don't go on when you don't need them. Sometimes radical changes in altitude, and steep declines in temperature would trigger the auto choke just when you didn't need any unexpected changes in performance. Like driving around the valley floor at 100*F and then taking a road up into the mountains [where it might read 32 - 50 *F].
Exactly! Manual chokes are much better imop.
