On the way to a Model A friend's funeral the choke arm fell off the shaft , every time we gave it throttle the suction would close the choke. I always carry a few clothes pins for whatever reason. I clipped one to the choke butterfly shaft with choke in the open position and the weight of the clothespin held the choke open. We made it to the funeral just fine.
