Random B18 engine anomalies 140-160 1968

I may be leaving the choke out a little too long, or at least too far for too long. I'll try your order on the next cold start. The largest smoking incidents occur when I try to take off and the choke is totally out. It sounds like I should never drive off with it more than 1/3 out?

I'm really confused about the mixture. I've been fine tuning the jets on and off for weeks. I feel like I've got them adjusted almost all the way up, and I was sure that meant I was on the lean side. Given that the choke cables pull them down, rich was down, lean was up. If your suspicions are true, I don't know how much more I can adjust them up. I've gotten them up so high in the past by tightening the nuts that the engine has started to die.
