That's another example of a choke system being just slightly more complex than it needs to be. Good catch( and fix )

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

So so true bill.. I’d take a manual choke over anything, then maybe auto choke. Thanks for watching mate :)

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

@VintageEngineRepairs auto-chokes are my favorites because users don't always know when to stop choking a motor. This one was of the design that got the worst of both worlds

Great vid! I flipped a honda and an old lawnboy with this issue. Very true.

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

[@jimbrewer2893]

I find that it usually is something simple that causes the owner to toss the piece. Those cables can be problematic.

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Spot on Jim, you’re quite right, often doesn’t take too much to get going again, unless they ran them low on oil!

[@barryewalt3250]

Simple fix Tom, nice work👍
