My Weber has a choke operated by a cable. The knob end is mounted where the GAV/choke rod knob would normally be and the cable goes through the hole in the firewall where the rod would normally go. It is quite natural for me to reach for the cable end to choke the engine when cold as that is where I used to grab the rod to choke the Zenith. The Weber has offset choke plates with a spring connection so that once the engine starts the choke opens up a bit so that the engine does not flood. It still runs rough until I push in the choke, slowly as it warms up.
