THE FUEL SYSTEM AND GOVERNOR
29
NOTE: On snow engines with electric start, the
starter switch mounting bracket is bolted to the
fuel tank and will come off with the tank. If
replacing the tank, make sure to remove the
bracket from the old tank and mount it on the
new one.
See Figure 4.7.
6. Remove the bolt securing the fuel tank mounting
tab to the cylinder block.
See Figure 4.8.
7. Install the fuel tank by following the above steps
in reverse order.
Choke
MTD engines are equipped with a choke, a primer or
both. If equipped with a manual choke, it must be
closed to start the engine. The choke should be
opened when the engine starts. This can be a source
of starting issues with customers who are not familiar
with manual chokes.
The choke is operated by either a knob or a lever at the
carburetor, depending on the application. If the choke
plate fails to close fully, the engine will be difficult or
impossible to start when cold. See Figure 4.9.
NOTE: Engines with a choke lever do not have
any choke linkages. The choke lever is mounted
on the carburetor and directly connected the
choke plate.
See Figure 4.10.
