ok, i'm very new to carbs, and i have never seen an accord's carburetor up close. i viewed a thread in this forum with someone saying their choke cable was loose. from that, i assume that an accord's choke is cable operated. i have never seen this. the only choke i have seen is operated by a bi-metallic spring that gets heated from either the exhaust system, coolant temp, or electrically. as the spring heats up, it shifts positions, causing the choke to open near operating temperature. if someone could please explain to me how an accord's choke works, i'd appreciate it. i'd really like to see some pics of the choke up close. does anyone wanna snap some shots and post them up for me?

thanks.

EDIT: no more than a second after i post this up, A20A1 chimes in to answer this question in another thread. so my question has been answered.
