78/83/90 Series Horizontal Shaft Engines
48
Choke
78/83/90 series MTD engines are equipped with a choke. The snow engines are also equipped with a primer,
both of which must be used to start the engine.
NOTE: The choke should be opened after the engine starts. This can be a source of starting issues with cus-
tomers who are not familiar with manual chokes.
NOTE: On the summer engines, the entire choke
mechanism is part of the carburetor.
See Figure 4.20.
Choke mechanism (snow engines)
The choke is operated by a knob on the engine
shroud. If the choke plate fails to close fully, the engine will
be dif
ficult or impossible to start when cold.
See Figure 4.21.
