Choke lever
When the choke lever 1 is pulled backwards, a bore is opened in the car-
buretor which enables the engine to draw in additional fuel. This produces
a „rich“ fuel/air mixture necessary for cold start. When the choke lever is
pushed forward as far as it will go, the bore will be closed again. In this
position the choke cable must have a play of approx. 2 mm.
