Please excuse my ignorance (new to Model A's) but I'd like to know what the choke rod rotation feature is all about. Does this change the rich mixture setting ? My car started running a little rough, so just for grins I rotated the knob from the 9 o'clock position to the 6 o'chock position and the car started to run better and not back fire when accelerating. What did I change ? What setting is normal ? Thanks FWI I did not change the retard lever during this experiment, it was left in the full down position.
