Engine Choke Adjustment 2-Cycle Engines
When the choke is in the full off position, the choke plunger must
be seated on the fuel passageway in the carburetor. If the plunger
is not seated on the passageway, the engine will flood or run too
rich, causing spark plug fouling and very poor engine perfor-
mance.
If there is too much choke cable slack resulting in excessive free
play, the engine will be hard starting when cold and the half-on
choke position used for intermittent applications will not function.
Choke Adjustment Procedure
1. Flip choke toggle to the full
off position.
2. Loosen adjustment locknut
(A) on carburetor.
3. Turn cable sleeve adjusting
nut (B) clockwise on carbu-
retor until 1/8″ (.3 cm) or
more choke toggle free
play is evident.
4. Turn the cable sleeve ad-
justing nut counterclock-
wise on the carburetor until
the toggle has zero free
play. Then rotate it clock-
wise until 1/8″ to 1/4″ (.3 to
.6 cm) toggle free play is ev-
ident.
5. Tighten adjustment lock-
nut.
