CHOKE KNOB
(See page 62.)
Starting a cold engine requires a richer air-fuel
mixture. A separate starter circuit supplies this
mixture.
Move in direction (A) to turn on the choke knob.
Move in direction (B) to turn off the choke knob.
Refer to "starting a cold engine" for proper
operation.
(1) Fully open (2) Half open
(A) ON position (B) OFF position
(3) Closed
Extended use of the choke may impair piston
and cylinder wall lubrication and shorten the
life of the engine.
Pushing the choke knob too hard to the OFF
position may dislodge the choke cable boot.
If this happens, water and dirt may enter the
choke cable and cause corrosion. If the
choke is hard to actuate, or feels like it is
sticking, check the cable boot.
