Choke system consists of choke valve, detent and push-pull rod. When starting cold engine, the operator should judge
whether it is necessary to operate the choke to make engine starting easier, and if necessary, to operate the handle of
choke rod manually to set it to a proper position.
When attempting to start cold engine, pull choke rod to close choke valve. When engine starts, low pressure (vacuous) area
is formed in the venturi on the back of choke valve. Then, the fuel goes through main nozzle, bypass port and idle port, and
sucked into carburetor bore, where it is mixed with air that runs in from opening of the choke valve to form thick air-fuel
mixture.
As engine warms up, operate choke rod manually to open choke valve. When engine has warmed up to a temperature
suitable to the operation. For manual choke system, set choke lever to its original position.
