The early chokes didn't have an adjustment. These were the one's that had the chrome cap. The choke with the black outer cap can be adjusted. For the early unit, don't tighten the back nut, you will brake the threaded area of the plastic. Rather, unscrew the nut from the back side and pull it toward you about an inch or so to see the 1/8th in. square hole. (or the nylon strip may still be there) pull it our and/or cut another to replace it and screw it back together. The nylon strip is what keeps the choke out and allows it to slowly move in. Over time it wares out.
