do most of you run chokes on your carbs?

Even though a lot of boats don't have chokes ,if you are asking the question ,you may be happier with a choke. Lots of younger people don't know how to start a motor ....They want to "turn it on ".. To "turn a motor on" means fuel injection or a properly adjusted choke

I wouldn't waste my time milling the choke tower off a Holley. Many tests have been done on this in the past 30 years, the cfm gain is minor. Even if you gain 25cfm, (most tests gained 10-20) it won't make a bit of difference in a boat other than looking cooler.
If the engine needs more cfm your better off getting a larger carb or a proform main body . Just my opinion.

I had stock 502 mag with quadrajets (with chokes) and now they are Scorpion 600 hp 540 ci with 950 quick fuel carbs with no chokes. It starts the same or better now and doesnt need the warm up time to stay idling like it did before.
