Choke

So, just curious as to how, if having to hand crank my A, how do you go about closing the choke from outside the car? The model t had a choke rod that came out the right front below the rad. But guess I never knew how to choke the A while hand cranking. A close pin around the choke rod maybe?? Thanks
 
Here is a picture of the choke lever eye...

My rod has a gromet on the bottom of the gas tank that kind of holds it. I seldom use my crank. Maybe in the barn, at the start of spring when I don't wanna drag the battery down any more than I have to, till I get a charge on the battery. Besides, I usually use my foot and kinda jump on my hand-crank. My engine is pretty still, and I'm not thta big of a guy.

Been my experience I don't need the choke plate to be dead closed. I open my GAV a bit too. Once it fires I can retreat to the drivers compartment and smooth everything out.

The wire...yeah I guess you could, but I'd be inclined to hold it around the radiator shell. My radiator cost $585 plus shipping.
 
Leave the key off, set the choke and pull up on the hand crank a couple of times.
Push in the choke, turn the key on and pull up on the hand crank a couple times to start it.

Oh... and don't forget to turn on the gas first.
 
Old high school trick. Two guys in back giving the car a push. Pop clutch, starts right up.
