I just finish installing a Weber carberator on a 1F engine. I think I am have trouble with the electric choke because I will prime the engine dumping some gas down the chute, but as the choke closes it backfires once or twice and kills the engine. Any suggestions.

Cold choke check First.......
Loosen the choke housing screws...Open the throttle and turn the choke housing until the choke butterflies close. let the throttle close and don't touch it until you're finished setting the choke. Now, open the butterflies with your finger and pull it away quickly. The butterflies should close completely, but rather softly with only a soft click, not slam shut like a rat trap. Adjust the choke housing until you achieve this effect and tighten the housing screws. This is often the only choke adjustment you'll have to make, but each carb is an individual and you may have to re-adjust in actual use. A lean choke is indicated by coughing and sputtering on acceleration when the engine is cold. A rich choke is indicated by blubbering and lumpy idle when the engine is cold. To adjust, loosen the choke housing screws only enough to allow you to turn the choke housing and move the index mark on the housing 1/32 to 1/16 of and inch richer or leaner as you see fit and try it again when the engine is cold.........
Check for "infamous" vacuum leaks around the mounting adapter area.......
