carb closed, car don't stall???????

[hyper 78]

I noticed today that when i push my carb leaver down to intially fire up engine( should fire up for a breef second before shutting down)it don't stall and carries on reving, surely something aint right as usually this is just to fire and turn over the engine... does anybody know why this is happening or happened to them?

choke you mean. then it is way too lean for some reason. the choke, chokes off the air to get fuel in. if you open the choke it will be way over lean then and you either have the needle way out or there is an air leak somewhere
