Boy what a rough night. I came home at 11:30 at night to find that my dust cover had been stolen off my Corvette. Great, bad enough right? I decided to take her out for a quick strole, to see if everything was alright. I drive around for about 30 miles, and right when I am taking the last corner, pow, my alternator belt breaks. I park her, and proceed to take out pieces of belt from around the fan for about a half hour. I'm going to have it towed to the mechanic this week (and get all belts changed), however, it is parked very oddly, and to get it on the flatbed, I might have to back it up a little. Since there is no power, and its running off only the battery, the choke will not disengage, and it will idle at around 2500 rpm (I know this from experience). So my question is: is there a way to manually turn off the choke without providing the necessary current to shut it off? Thanks for any sympathetic replies.
