CafeenMan, going back to your original post, I don't see a darn thing wrong with it.
BTW, I choke with ign. on, until it pops once or twice, then flip it off as well. MANY others do the same thing. Don't think twice of it. Not sure I'd ever do the choke with my radio, but darn sure not going to try and convince somebody else they should not? It's your call!
Bunch of old guys/experience around here. Been doing stuff "their way" for a long time. Doing something differently sometimes makes them crazy. Like you've demonstrated well in this post, when you run across something different, you listen and ask questions. Sometimes you learn something new! If you care for the logic, fine, otherwise....
