This is possibly very silly, but seeing as I know nothing about cars, I'm going to ask...

When I put the choke in my car keeps revving really high, until I push on my accelerator hard (so it revs higher than it has been), then it settles back down to a more normal idle.
What's the go with this? Is it something possibly fixed easily, or should I just rush it to a professional?

Thanks in advance!

your choke assembly is probablygetting caught on the idle increase screw. Try cleaning the carb with a can of carb cleaner and then a touch of WD40 To keep in lubed.
No silly questions, we all started somewhere.
Cheers
Aaron

thanks though!

the carb is the round pot thing that sits at the back of the engine bay closest to the window. in the middle.

get a manual and join a club or group. i think there is a group in wollongong. Get a hold of them and i am sure they will be happy to point you in the right direction.
