FUEL SYSTEM
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings

Choke System

The choke functions to make initial starting of the engine
easier in cold weather conditions. The choke plate
restricts the air flow into the carburetor which richens the
air/fuel ratio.

Choke Operation

Pull the choke knob out to operate the choke (Ref Fig. 2
on page H-2). Check that the cable operates smoothly
and that the cable returns when the knob is released.
The motion should be smooth throughout the entire oper­
ating range. If there is any binding or sharp bends, the
choke cable assembly must be replaced.

Do not attempt to lubricate the choke cable.
·
Lubricant tends to retain dirt on the moving
·
parts which will cause premature deterioration of the cable.
