Ahh very well stated. [ master jedi. ]  but perhaps, since VW didn't 
design the pistons, crank, and pretty much everything else in this 
motor,
perhaps the motor was designed for those carbs?  [ *grin* hopefully 
that comes across as funny. ]

Seriously though, thanks everyone for explaining that people don't use 
the chokes with those carbs.
I had marked it down on my list of things to worry about given various 
threads on the list I had seen
about people's chokes.  The car currently starts up and idles pretty 
well,  I only sometimes
have to open the throttle a tiny bit when starting it, and I don't have 
to hold it open but for maybe 10 seconds
before it will idle on it's own.  but then there's  no cold weather 
here.

Actually no. the choke is still on the right side. My mechanic tells me 
It has been "disabled".
