If the choke knob does not stay out when pulled,
adjust the choke tension by tightening the tensioner
located under the rubber boot between the choke
knob and nut. Firmly grasp the rubber boot and
tighten until the choke slides freely but stays out when
pulled.
Verify free play of 1/16--3/16" (1.6--4.76 mm) and
smooth operation of choke cable.
If smooth choke operation is not obtainable, inspect
choke cable for kinks or sharp bends in routing.
