Or don't fuss with the choke at all.
Place your thumb or palm over the carb opening, flip the prop until your thumb or palm is wet, turn on the ignition and start the engine. It really isn't a big deal.
My Quadra Q35s didn't have choke plates and they started very easily this way. Choke plates and choke servos are for sissies. <G>
