A divorced choke has the choke coil mounted on the intake manifold, with a linkage rod connecting it to the choke plate.

The divorced choke consists of a little bimetal coil on the intake, which unwinds as the engine warms up, and raises a rod which opens the choke butterfly.

I like the "swinging style" choke. Its like choke without the commitment of marriage.
