On both of my cars with 2 97s, I leave one carb unchoked and half choke the other. When the temp gauge gets to 150 I unchoke it and mine will idle at that point off fast idle setting and then I can drive it and it will go up to temp. My engines don't run that well until they get to 150 degrees. I know all engines/cam and carb combinations are different.
