edelbrock electric choke problems

[71charger]

I'm having problems with my edelbrock 4bbl carb I think its a 1406 600cfm. After she warms up the choke slowly slides back as if its failing... Never had this problem before she just slowly dies when in idle after shes warm. Any help?....... should I replace it and if so where can I find the part. It has just recently started this. Oh yea almost forgot if I disconnect it after she warms up its just fine but I don't want to have to do that everytime I drive the car.

Summit or Jegs will have a replacement part , check the power supply though to be sure it still has power when it starts to close back up

It seems to have power cause when I unplug it it stops moving back when warm.

The choke butterfly is held open by vacuum, see if there is resistance when you try to close the open butterfly before it starts to close on its own.

There is no resistance when I try to close the butterfly Im thinking it might be going bad because I have not touched or bumped the choke since I bought the car and just recently its choking itself to death.

In all of the years i've been messing with carbs, the ONLY problems I have seen with an electric choke, is the power source. you rarely need to replace them, even if the plastic cover has broken. don't use the positive side of your coil to power them. sometimes it works, but I have seen this as problematic in the past. run your choke hot wire to a direct source of ignition or find a spot in your fuse block that works ONLY when the key is ON.

Dunno about Chrysler but GM ran them through an oil pressure switch so you couldn't pull the choke off by sitting with the key on/engine off.
