If we want to get technical it's not a choke but a cold start timing advance.

Anyways, it's hooked up to the back of the pump. Use a screwdriver to push it back to where it should be. You'll need a long one.

My rpms sit at like 1000 - 1100 when im idling.

Nope, it just means you need to back off the stop screw. ::)...

...However, if that means that it idles rough, then timing may be out a little,
or maybe injectors a little imbalanced :)
