I have the AED 750 mechanical secondary. Purchased for my FE390, worked good out of the box, but I went to a dyno to make sure A/F was in the right range. He tweeked air bleeds. No Choke in SoCal but even on cold mornings 40ish degrees I never had a time when I wished there was a choke. Always started fine...3 half pumps on the pedal, push ignition and varoom. I ended up with a stroked 390 (445ci) and use the same carb. Works good, good response when blipping the throttle, no lag starting from a stop. When I go to the mountains 6000' elevation there is a noticeable change. Takes longer to warm up (probably needs a choke) I have to adjust the rpms at idle for smoother idle.
Oh one more thing I was not looking for the shiny or color anodized look, too blingy for me and this was available in the plain version.

Also regarding the no choke is my air cleaner is the oval 1 3/4" height. The top of my air cleaner was sitting on top of the choke horn when I had my Holly. No good.
